information on PMC responsibilities.</p>
<p>Membership of the PMC is by invitation only and must be approved by a
consensus approval of active PMC members. Upon acceptance of the invitation to
become a PMC member, it is the accepting memberâs responsibility to update
their status on the Accumulo web page accordingly.</p>
<p>A PMC member is considered emeritus, meaning inactive, by their own
declaration or by not contributing in any form to the project for over six
months. Emeritus members will be recognized by the PMC on the Accumulo web
page, in honor of their past contributions. Emeritus members retain all voting
and commit rights associated with their former designation and can move
themselves out of emeritus status by sending an announcement of their return to
the developer mailing list. It will be the returning member's responsibility to
update their status on the web page accordingly.</p>
<p>The chair of the PMC is appointed by the ASF board. The chair is an office
holder of the Apache Software Foundation (Vice President, Apache Accumulo) and
has primary responsibility to the board for the management of the projects
within the scope of the Accumulo PMC. The chair reports to the board quarterly
on developments within the Accumulo project.</p>

<p>No other voting actions are defined; all other actions should presume Lazy
Approval (defaulting to Consensus Approval upon veto). If an action is voted on
multiple times, or if a different approval type is desired, these bylaws should
be amended to include the action.</p>
<p>For the purposes of the "Adoption of New Codebase" action, the Accumulo
codebase is defined as the Accumulo site content, primary project code, and all
contributed code ("contribs") as they exist in their respective repositories.
Adoption of a new codebase generally refers to the creation of a new contrib
repository, but could cover, for example, a rework of the project site, or
merging a contrib project into the primary codebase.</p>
