This is a proposal to change the Bylaw Change action in the bylaws from Majority Approval to Consensus Approval. This is being requested because Bylaw changes are a major change to the project and all discussion should be able to be had without a borderline majority being able to force things through.
Specifically, it is the following line which shall be changed Modifying BylawsModifying this document.Majority approvalActive PMC members7 to Modifying BylawsModifying this document.Consensus approvalActive PMC members 7 The current bylaws are visible at http://accumulo.apache.org/bylaws.html This vote will be open for 7 days, until 11 April 2014, 15:20 UTC. Upon successful completion of this vote, the first line of the document body will be replaced with "This is version 2 of the bylaws," ( or "This is version 3 of the bylaws," if the vote to change Code Changes passes) and the aforementioned line will be changed from Majority Approval to Consensus Approval. This vote requires majority approval to pass: at least 3 +1 votes and more +1 than -1's. [ ] +1 - "I approve of these proposed bylaw changes and accept them for the Apache Accumulo project." [ ] +0 - "I neither approve nor disapprove of these proposed bylaw changes, but accept them for the Apache Accumulo project." [ ] -1 - "I do not approve of these proposed bylaw changes and do not accept them for the Apache Accumulo project because..." Thank you.
