Problem

The four normative EEIP-lifecycle parameters disagreed across authoritative files:

  • Submission directory: GOVERNANCE.md + EEIP-TEMPLATE.md said proposals/ (which doesn't exist); EEIP-0001 and the actual files use docs/eeips/.
  • Vote threshold: GOVERNANCE said "majority"; EEIP-0001 said "≥2/3 majority".
  • Decision body: GOVERNANCE said "TSC"; EEIP-0001 said "Standards Committee".

Fix

  • Standardize the submission directory on docs/eeips/ (GOVERNANCE table + EEIP-TEMPLATE).
  • Set the Accepted threshold to ≥2/3 majority (matching EEIP-0001).
  • Add a clarifying note: the core team is the EEIP decision body during 0.x and becomes the TSC at v1.0; older docs' "Standards Committee" denotes the same role. eep.dev/proposals is the web mirror of docs/eeips/.

Docs-only. Surfaced by the EEP protocol audit (finding GOV-1). Touches a GOVERNANCE.md region disjoint from #6's (the 0.x procedure), so the two merge cleanly.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The EEIP lifecycle parameters disagreed across GOVERNANCE.md,
EEIP-TEMPLATE.md and EEIP-0001: submission directory (`proposals/`,
which does not exist, vs `docs/eeips/` where EEIPs actually live), vote
threshold (majority vs EEIP-0001's ≥2/3), and decision-body name (TSC vs
"Standards Committee"). Standardize on `docs/eeips/` (GOVERNANCE +
EEIP-TEMPLATE), set the Accepted threshold to ≥2/3, and add a note that
the core team (the TSC from v1.0, a.k.a. "Standards Committee" in older
docs) is the single decision body.

Surfaced by the EEP protocol audit (finding GOV-1).

Docs-only reconciliation aligning the EEIP lifecycle parameters (submission directory, vote threshold, decision body) across GOVERNANCE.md and docs/EEIP-TEMPLATE.md to match EEIP-0001 and the actual repository layout.

Changes:

  • Standardize EEIP submission directory on docs/eeips/ (replacing the nonexistent proposals/).
  • Set the Accepted threshold to ≥2/3 majority of TSC members.
  • Add clarifying note about the core team / TSC / "Standards Committee" being the same decision body across phases.
