# An RfC proposing a major change languishes after a few weeks with two strong supports and one abstain. Lets say  for the sake of something to work with that it introduces changes to the Content Policy and there's nothing about it that would inherently deserve a veto. How would you approach this RfC?

:# Wiki requests and managing abuse filters are the two key responsibilities that Stewards handle - handling CheckUser requests is a close third.
:# My mistakes don't really involve my use of the Steward toolset, but rather my overzealous approach to threats of legal complaints (which is mostly a Safety thing). I admittedly haven't improved on that yet, but I would think carefully and determine if there is merit to the complaints and if they can be resolved without involving the Foundation in the courts, and not let emotion cloud my judgement in the future.
:# A Steward represents the community aspect of policy legislation and enforcement, as opposed to the Board which handles legal policy and Safety which enforces that policy.
:# Given the fact that the IP range belongs to a university, the user agent + behavioral evidence is more important than usual. If the accounts are likely to belong to the same person, that would be grounds for a lock. If there is reasonable doubt, err towards the side of caution and wait for concrete proof of multi-account abuse.
:# There would be a quorum of votes required to pass an RfC - that number will obviously shrink and grow as time goes on. If the quorum happens to be 3 votes minimum, the RfC would have to be closed as successful if it does not contradict Board policy.
