doc: remove confusing reference in governance doc
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history

the change. Previously-objecting Collaborators do not necessarily have to
sign-off on the change, but they should not be opposed to it.
* The change is escalated to the CTC and the CTC votes to approve the change.
This should be used only after other options (especially discussion among
