We have the following pages in the governance section of our website: http://accumulo.apache.org/governance/voting.html http://accumulo.apache.org/governance/consensusBuilding.html http://accumulo.apache.org/governance/lazyConsensus.html http://accumulo.apache.org/governance/releasing.html
In my opinion, the first three (covering mechanics of voting, consensus building, and lazy consensus) are more like definitions / how-to guides for their respective topics, rather than being policy rules specifically adopted by the Accumulo project. For this reason, I don't think modifications to these pages should be treated the same way as bylaws changes. They can be treated as code change actions, as we handle the rest of the website. The release guidelines are different, however. We should decide whether they are effectively part of our bylaws and can only be changed with a bylaws change action; or whether they are more like the rest of our documentation and code, meaning they can be modified with a code change action.
