Hi, Oh dear, it looks like HTTP [1] isn’t in compliance either. "Membership can be revoked by a unanimous vote of all the active PMC members other than the member in question.” And this is probably where the 6 months term come from, that pops up everywhere re inactive PMC members. "A PMC mem

hehe.. and I agree with both of you :-) But when the concept of "foundation-level project bylaws" came up, that is where they are. Not labeled as such, not explained well, etc. Agreed. Yet conceptually, those are the "default project bylaws" should a PMC not decide to write up something else. We'

Greg, I agree with Justin. I know from experience what the “defaults” are, but to a newcomer, it’s likely anything but clear. The project-specific ones you reference make no reference to being bylaws, hence my description of them as “policy.” If we could clearly delineate between Foundation By
