> With regards to CEPs, I personally don't see any value in voting to start one. Agree with this, and I'd go even further - requiring a vote in order to propose an idea runs so counter to the idea of a CEP that it would default the purpose of even having them. The CEP is the _proposal_ for a

Oh, interesting. I checked the doc and didn't see a time frame on the roll call but maybe I just missed it. I'll open it up for comments either way. On Thu, Jun 4, 2020 at 5:51 PM Benedict Elliott Smith wrote: > I think the 24 hours point that was raised was pointed to being too short > was

I think the 24 hours point that was raised was pointed to being too short was just for the roll-call; I personally that think for closing down a discussion, 24 hours is acceptable in order to assist progress, since it should only be called when it's clear the discussion has halted or consensus

I think the doc is a great place to reach agreement on things that are easily agreed - the final form will be moved to the wiki anyway, and voted on here. Anything that isn't readily agreed should be moved here for further discussion, in my opinion, to widen participation. On 04/06/2020,

Also - would everyone like the doc opened up for comments so we can have localized feedback and discussion there? I think this ML thread might get hard to follow rapidly but I want to be mindful of apache policies surrounding things happening on the ML. I think closing out w/final time window and

On the topic of CEP's, I'd advocate for us trying a couple/few out first and seeing what uncertainties arise as being troublesome and see if we can't codify a best practice around them. To date we've had only a couple CEP's actively move and a few in draft pre-move pending more progress on 4.0 so

I missed the end of Josh's email that suggested engaging here and the doc doesn't allow comments anyways so some more questions / thoughts here: - Regarding the PMC roll call, is there any definition of "active on the project and want to participate"? - Will the PMC roll call apply to the PMC

Glad to see the PMC has been discussing these topics and is making efforts towards improving on the status quo. Thanks for sharing the draft. I'll leave more detailed questions/comments on the doc itself but as a whole its encouraging to see the PMC rely more heavily on the community and make an

A couple of thoughts: 1. It seems all rules on voting are predicated on the question being binary. Perhaps we should also tack on a section for cases where we have to pick among multiple options (a simple plurality, maybe). 2. Should this itself be a CEP? (E.g., Python's governance model was

Hi, as per Beta lifecycle doc instructions I wanted to check with the ML about marking this test with xfail as per the PR in the ticket. The root cause has been found and there have been previous attempts at fixing it like CASSANDRA-1471. Still there is room for failure as I found in
