Use the same formulation as the "Removal of a TU" section:
Following the motion, standard voting procedure commences with a discussion period of 5 days, a quorum of 75%, and a voting period of 7 days.
You can also replace "standard voting procedure" with "SVP" throughout the document after its definition.
+be sent "inline" (i.e. using `git send-email`) so that other TUs can easily
I would change "i.e." to "e.g." as I see no reason to mandate that users actually send the message with git directly (as this requires sendmail configuration, and some users may only have access to webmail). The formatting of the message itself is what matters. To be honest, I don't see the problem with accepting the resulting document either. Copying over a single document is no more work than applying a patch. Perhaps we could also add an additional minor change to this patchset to say that the SVP voting period ends either after the designated time OR after all TUs have voted. With the upcoming changes to the AUR this will be apparent, and the AUR can stop the vote itself an possibly send an email to the list.
