Hi Casey, I have a few questions (wearing my mentor hat ;) ):
What are the differences between the proposed bylaws and the standard Apache procedures and guidelines? If there are no differences, Metron doesn't even need bylaws. If there are differences, can you point to a discussion thread, etc. where that decision was made? I'm a big fan of keeping bylaws simple, or even not having them unless they deviate from the documented norm. If there are deviations, the bylaws could just a set of links to ASF docs, with a section for each deviation (e.g. "For W, X, and Y we follow standard ASF practices, but for Z we deviate in the following way because..."). I don't want to block moving forward with this. I just want to make sure the community has really thought this out. My vote is +0 (binding). I would gladly change to a +1 given satisfactory answers to the question above. -Taylor > On Aug 17, 2016, at 2:49 PM, Casey Stella <[email protected]> wrote: > > This is a vote to adopt the bylaws as they are stated here > <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/METRON/Apache+Metron+Bylaws>. > > This is a procedural vote, so it is simple majority rules and there will be > no vetoes (as directed by the ASF here > <https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html>).
