- return to `Draft` (if only a minority of the CAP Core Team raises concerns).
- It can take upwards of 3 meetings before a disposition is reached.

### FCP -> Accepted/Rejected
- After a week of an Final Comment Period (FCP) where any major concerns that have not been
previously addressed can be brought up, the CAP will head to its final disposition.
### Final Comment Period -> Accepted or Rejected
- During the week-long Final Comment Period, anyone can bring up major concerns
that have not been previously addressed. If no such concerns remain at the
end of the period, the CAP will move to `Accepted` or `Rejected` according to
its intended disposition.
- Concerns will be addressed on a case by case basis, and only major concerns that were not
addressed earlier will move the CAP back to a `Draft` state.
