<h2 id="actions">Actions</h2>
<p>This section describes the various actions which are undertaken within the
project, the corresponding approval required for that action and those who have
binding votes over the action. It also specifies the minimum length of time
that a vote must remain open, measured in days. In general votes should not be
called at times when it is known that interested members of the project will be
unavailable.</p>
