Just to be clear, it’s not strictly necessary to establish bylaws in order to graduate. The “tasked with creating bylaws” section of graduation resolutions isn’t really necessary, but gets included due to copy/paste.
Bylaws become necessary when you deviate from standard ASF practices. Most voting rules are covered here [1]. That being said, there’s nothing wrong with establishing bylaws at this point. But you should be careful that the PPMC has consensus around what is being proposed, since it can be difficult to change them once established (most projects require a 2/3 majority to change bylaws).
