Put information about Collaborators in GOVERNANCE.md before information
about the CTC. For most things, the CTC is the last place to go, not the
first and Collaborators have a lot of decision-making power in the
project. The governance doc should reflect that.

(There's also one paragraph re-formatted to wrap at 80 chars.)

You can exhaust options, but can you exhaust discussion?

I agree it's at least mildly awkward, but I don't think it's unclear. I'm certainly open to suggestions for better wording. Other options that spring to mind:

This should only be used if discussion among disagreeing Collaborators fails reaches an impasse.

This should only be as a last resort.

This should only be used if there seems to be no other path to resolution.

How about

This should only be used if disagreements between Collaborators cannot be resolved through discussion.

Thanks, @gibfahn. Changed be used to happen but otherwise went with your suggestion:

This should only happen if disagreements between Collaborators cannot be resolved through discussion.

LGTM either way but I like Gibson's suggestion.

Put information about Collaborators in GOVERNANCE.md before information
