+          
+          <p>This is version 3 of the bylaws. Community work actively 
continues on the bylaws, and so key segments of them are subject to change.</p>
+
+<h1 id="introduction">Introduction</h1>
+
+<p>This document defines the bylaws under which the Apache Accumulo project 
operates. It defines the roles and responsibilities of the project, who may 
vote, how voting works, how conflicts are resolved, etc.</p>
+
+<p>Accumulo is a project of the <a 
href="https://www.apache.org/foundation";>Apache Software Foundation</a>. The 
foundation holds the copyright on Apache code including the code in the 
Accumulo codebase. The <a 
href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/faq";>foundation FAQ</a> explains the 
operation and background of the foundation.</p>
+
+<p>Accumulo is typical of Apache projects in that it operates under a set of 
principles, known collectively as the Apache Way. If you are new to Apache 
development, please refer to the <a 
href="https://incubator.apache.org";>Incubator project</a> for more information 
on how Apache projects operate. Terms used at the ASF are defined in the <a 
href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary";>ASF glossary</a>.</p>
+
+<h1 id="roles-and-responsibilities">Roles and Responsibilities</h1>
+
+<p>Apache projects define a set of roles with associated rights and 
responsibilities. These roles govern what tasks an individual may perform 
within the project. The roles are defined in the following sections.</p>
+
+<h2 id="users">Users</h2>
+
+<p>The most important participants in the project are people who use our 
software. The majority of our contributors start out as users and guide their 
development efforts from the user’s perspective.</p>
+
+<p>Users contribute to the Apache projects by providing feedback to 
contributors in the form of bug reports and feature suggestions. As well, users 
participate in the Apache community by helping other users on mailing lists and 
user support forums.</p>
+
+<h2 id="contributors">Contributors</h2>
+
+<p>All of the volunteers who are contributing time, code, documentation, or 
resources to the Accumulo project are considered contributors. A contributor 
that makes sustained, welcome contributions to the project may be invited to 
become a committer, though the exact timing of such invitations depends on many 
factors.</p>
+
+<h2 id="committers">Committers</h2>
+
+<p>The project’s committers are responsible for the project’s technical 
management. Committers have write access to the project’s code repositories 
and may cast binding votes on any technical discussion regarding Accumulo. 
Committer access is by invitation only and must be approved by consensus 
approval of the active PMC members. Upon acceptance of the invitation to become 
a committer, it is the accepting member’s responsibility to update their 
status on the Accumulo web page accordingly.</p>

+<p>A committer is considered emeritus, meaning inactive, by their own 
declaration or by not reviewing patches or committing patches to the project 
for over six months. Emeritus members will be recognized by the PMC on the 
Accumulo web page, in honor of their past contributions. Emeritus members 
retain all voting and commit rights associated with their former designation 
and can move themselves out of emeritus status by sending an announcement of 
their return to the developer mailing list. It will be the returning member’s 
responsibility to update their status on the web page accordingly.</p>
+
+<p>An emeritus committer’s commit access may be disabled as part of routine 
security. Access shall not be removed without notifying the committer, and 
access shall be maintained if the committer wishes to leave it active. A 
committer’s commit access shall be reactivated upon the committer’s request 
to the PMC.</p>
+
+<p>All Apache committers are required to have a signed <a 
href="https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt";>Contributor License 
Agreement</a> (CLA) on file with the Apache Software Foundation. Under the 
terms of the CLA that all committers must sign, a committer’s primary 
responsibility is to ensure that all code committed to Apache Accumulo is 
licensed appropriately and meets those criteria set forth in the CLA (including 
both original works and patches committed on behalf of other contributors). 
There is a <a href="https://www.apache.org/dev/committers";>Committer FAQ</a> 
which provides more details on the requirements for committers.</p>
+
+<p>It is the custom of the Accumulo project to also invite each committer to 
become a member of the Accumulo PMC.</p>
+
+<h2 id="project-management-committee">Project Management Committee</h2>
+
+<p>The role of the PMC, from a Foundation perspective, is <a 
href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#pmc";>oversight</a>. 
The main
+role of the PMC is not code and not coding, but to ensure that all legal
+issues are addressed, that procedure is followed, and that each and every
+release is the product of the community as a whole. That is key to our
+litigation protection mechanisms.</p>
+
+<p>Secondly, the role of the PMC is to further the long-term development and
+health of the community as a whole, and to ensure that balanced and wide
+scale peer review and collaboration does happen. Within the ASF, we worry
+about any community which centers around a few individuals who are working
+virtually uncontested. We believe that this is detrimental to quality,
+stability, and robustness of both code and long term social structures.</p>
+
+<p>The responsibilities of the PMC include:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Deciding what is distributed as products of the Apache Accumulo 
project.</li>
+  <li>Maintaining the project’s shared resources, including the code 
repository, mailing lists, and websites.</li>
+  <li>Protecting and ensuring proper use of Apache trademarks by the project 
and by other parties.</li>
+  <li>Speaking on behalf of the project.</li>
+  <li>Nominating new PMC members and committers.</li>
+  <li>Maintaining these bylaws and other guidelines of the project.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>In particular, PMC members must understand both our project’s criteria 
and ASF criteria for voting on a <a 
href="https://www.apache.org/dev/release#management";>release</a>.
+See the <a href="https://www.apache.org/dev/pmc";>PMC Guide</a> for more 
information on PMC responsibilities.</p>
+
+<p>Membership of the PMC is by invitation only and must be approved by a 
consensus approval of active PMC members. Upon acceptance of the invitation to 
become a PMC member, it is the accepting member’s responsibility to update 
their status on the Accumulo web page accordingly.</p>
+
+<p>A PMC member is considered emeritus, meaning inactive, by their own 
declaration or by not contributing in any form to the project for over six 
months. Emeritus members will be recognized by the PMC on the Accumulo web 
page, in honor of their past contributions. Emeritus members retain all voting 
and commit rights associated with their former designation and can move 
themselves out of emeritus status by sending an announcement of their return to 
the developer mailing list. It will be the returning member’s responsibility 
to update their status on the web page accordingly.</p>
+
+<p>The chair of the PMC is appointed by the ASF board. The chair is an office 
holder of the Apache Software Foundation (Vice President, Apache Accumulo) and 
has primary responsibility to the board for the management of the projects 
within the scope of the Accumulo PMC. The chair reports to the board quarterly 
on developments within the Accumulo project.</p>
+
+<p>When the current chair of the PMC resigns, the PMC votes to recommend a new 
chair using consensus approval, but the decision must be ratified by the Apache 
board.</p>
+
+<h2 id="release-manager">Release Manager</h2>
+
+<p>The <a href="https://www.apache.org/dev/release-publishing";>ASF release 
process</a> defines the <a 
href="https://www.apache.org/dev/release-publishing#release_manager";>release 
manager</a> as an individual responsible for shepherding a new project release. 
Any committer may serve as a release manager. The release manager for a release 
is chosen as part of the release plan.</p>
+
+<p>At a minimum, a release manager is responsible for packaging a release 
candidate for a vote and signing and publishing an approved release candidate. 
An Accumulo release manager is also expected to:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>guide whether changes after feature freeze or code freeze should be 
included in the release</li>
+  <li>ensure that required release testing is being conducted</li>
+  <li>track whether the release is on target for its expected release date</li>
+  <li>adjust release plan dates to reflect the latest estimates</li>
+  <li>determine if a re-plan may be needed and, if so, call a vote</li>
+  <li>call votes on release candidates</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Details on <a href="/contributor/making-release">making</a> and <a 
href="/contributor/verifying-release">verifying</a> a release are available on 
the Accumulo website.</p>
+
+<h1 id="decision-making">Decision Making</h1>
+
+<p>Within the Accumulo project, different types of decisions require different 
forms of approval. For example, the previous section describes several 
decisions which require ‘consensus approval’. This section defines how 
voting is performed, the types of approvals, and which types of decision 
require which type of approval.</p>
+
+<h2 id="voting">Voting</h2>
+
+<p>Decisions regarding the project are made by votes on the primary project 
development mailing list: d...@accumulo.apache.org. Where necessary, PMC voting 
may take place on the private Accumulo PMC mailing list: 
priv...@accumulo.apache.org. Votes are clearly indicated by a subject line 
starting with [VOTE]. A vote message may only pertain to a single item’s 
approval; multiple items should be separated into multiple messages. Voting is 
carried out by replying to the vote mail. A vote may take on one of four forms, 
defined below.</p>
+
+<table class="table">
+  <thead>
+    <tr>
+      <th>Vote</th>
+      <th>Meaning</th>
+    </tr>
+  </thead>
+  <tbody>
+    <tr>
+      <td>+1</td>
+      <td><em>Yes</em>, <em>Agree</em>, or <em>The action should be 
performed</em>. In general, this vote also indicates a willingness on the 
behalf of the voter to <em>make it happen</em>.</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td>+0</td>
+      <td>This vote indicates a willingness for the action under consideration 
to go ahead. The voter, however, will not be able to help.</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td>-0</td>
+      <td>This vote indicates that the voter does not, in general, agree with 
the proposed action but is not concerned enough to prevent the action going 
ahead.</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td>-1</td>
+      <td><em>No</em>, <em>Disagree</em>, or <em>The action should not be 
performed</em>. On issues where consensus is required, this vote counts as a 
veto. All vetoes must contain an explanation of why the veto is appropriate. 
Vetoes with no explanation are void. It may also be appropriate for a -1 vote 
to include an alternative course of action.</td>
+    </tr>
+  </tbody>
+</table>
+
+<p>All participants in the Accumulo project are encouraged to vote. For 
technical decisions, only the votes of active committers are binding. 
Non-binding votes are still useful for those with binding votes to understand 
the perception of an action across the wider Accumulo community. For PMC 
decisions, only the votes of active PMC members are binding.</p>
+
+<p>See the <a href="/contributor/voting">voting page</a> for more details on 
the mechanics of voting.</p>
+
+<h2 id="commit-then-review-ctr">Commit Then Review (CTR)</h2>
+
+<p>Voting can also be applied to changes to the Accumulo codebase. Under the 
Commit Then Review policy, committers can make changes to the codebase without 
seeking approval beforehand, and the changes are assumed to be approved unless 
an objection is raised. Only if an objection is raised must a vote take place 
on the code change.</p>
+
+<p>For some code changes, committers may wish to get feedback from the 
community before making the change. It is acceptable for a committer to seek 
approval before making a change if they so desire.</p>
+
+<h2 id="approvals">Approvals</h2>
+
+<p>These are the types of approvals that can be sought. Different actions 
require different types of approvals.</p>
+
+<table class="table">
+  <thead>
+    <tr>
+      <th>Approval Type</th>
+      <th>Definition</th>
+    </tr>
+  </thead>
+  <tbody>
+    <tr>
+      <td>Consensus Approval</td>
+      <td>A consensus approval vote passes with 3 binding +1 votes and no 
binding vetoes.</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td>Majority Approval</td>
+      <td>A majority approval vote passes with 3 binding +1 votes and more 
binding +1 votes than -1 votes.</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td>Lazy Approval (or Lazy Consensus)</td>
+      <td>An action with lazy approval is implicitly allowed unless a -1 vote 
is received, at which time, depending on the type of action, either majority 
approval or consensus approval must be obtained.  Lazy Approval can be either 
<em>stated</em> or <em>assumed</em>, as detailed on the <a 
href="/contributor/lazyConsensus">lazy consensus page</a>.</td>
+    </tr>
+  </tbody>
+</table>
+
+<h2 id="vetoes">Vetoes</h2>
+
+<p>A valid, binding veto cannot be overruled. If a veto is cast, it must be 
accompanied by a valid reason explaining the veto. The validity of a veto, if 
challenged, can be confirmed by anyone who has a binding vote. This does not 
necessarily signify agreement with the veto, but merely that the veto is 
valid.</p>
+
+<p>If you disagree with a valid veto, you must lobby the person casting the 
veto to withdraw their veto. If a veto is not withdrawn, the action that has 
been vetoed must be reversed in a timely manner.</p>
+
+<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>
+
+<p>For Code Change actions, a committer may choose to employ assumed or stated 
Lazy Approval under the <a href="#commit-then-review-ctr">CTR</a> policy. 
Assumed Lazy Approval has no minimum length of time before the change can be 
made.</p>

+</table>
+
+<p>No other voting actions are defined; all other actions should presume Lazy 
Approval (defaulting to Consensus Approval upon veto). If an action is voted on 
multiple times, or if a different approval type is desired, these bylaws should 
be amended to include the action.</p>
+
+<p>For the purposes of the “Adoption of New Codebase” action, the Accumulo 
codebase is defined as the Accumulo site content, primary project code, and all 
contributed code (“contribs”) as they exist in their respective 
repositories. Adoption of a new codebase generally refers to the creation of a 
new contrib repository, but could cover, for example, a rework of the project 
site, or merging a contrib project into the primary codebase.</p>
+
+<p>Voting actions for the removal of a committer or PMC member are 
intentionally not defined. According to ASF rules, <a 
href="https://www.apache.org/dev/committers#committer-set-term";>committer 
status never expires</a> and <a 
href="https://www.apache.org/dev/pmc#pmc-removal";>PMC members can only be 
removed with approval from the ASF Board</a>.</p>
+
+<h1 id="release-plans">Release Plans</h1>
+
+<p>The approval of a release plan begins the process of creating a new project 
release. The process ends when a release candidate is approved.</p>
+
+<p>An Accumulo release plan consists of at least the following:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>a version number</li>
+  <li>a feature freeze date</li>
+  <li>a code freeze date</li>
+  <li>a release date</li>
+  <li>the choice of a release manager</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>After feature freeze, new features should not be accepted for the release. 
After code freeze, only critical fixes should be accepted for the release. The 
release manager guides the decision on accepting changes.</p>
+
+<p>All dates in a plan are estimates, as unforeseen issues may require delays. 
The release manager may adjust dates as needed. In serious circumstances, the 
release manager may opt to call a re-plan vote.</p>

+          <h1 class="title">Consensus Building</h1>
+          
+          <p>In some cases there is no obvious path to take, or you might be a 
new community, 
+or a new member of an existing community. In these cases people will often 
+need to build consensus by making proposals and eliciting responses.</p>
+
+<p>We want to avoid unnecessary discussion and the creation of significant
+amounts of unnecessary mail that everyone in the community needs to read. 
+That is not to say that we want to avoid constructive discussion. This is 
+the lifeblood of a successful project. However, many ASF projects adopt a 
+shorthand notation for showing support, or otherwise, for a proposal.</p>
+
+<h2 id="expressing-support-or-otherwise">Expressing support (or otherwise)</h2>
+
+<p>The notation used is “+1”, “-1” and “0”. It’s also common to 
see “+0” and “-0”.</p>
+
+<p>So, what do these notations mean?</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>+1 means “I agree with this and will help make it happen”</li>
+  <li>+0 means “I agree with this but probably won’t make it happen, so my 
+opinion is not that important”</li>
+  <li>-0 means “I don’t agree with this, but I’m offering no alternative 
so 
+my opinion is not that important”</li>
+  <li>-1 means “I don’t agree and I am offering an alternative that I am 
able 
+to help implement”</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Many people will use fractions to indicate the strength of their feelings,
+ e.g. “+0.5”. Some will even indicate this is a “no brainer” with 
something 
+like “+1000”.</p>
+
+<p>The important thing is that this is not an exact science. It’s just a 
shorthand 
+way of communicating strength of feeling.</p>
+
+<h2 id="consensus-building-is-not-voting">Consensus Building is Not Voting</h2>
+
+<p>The confusing thing about this notation is that it is the same notation
+used in a formal vote. Knowing when something is a vote and when it is a 
+preference is important. It’s easy to tell though, if the subject does not 
have 
+“[Vote]” at the start then it’s just an opinion. We try not to call 
votes,
+consensus building is much more inclusive.</p>
+
+<p>The reasons for this notation being common is 
+that when someone wants to summarise a discussion thread they can mentally 
+add up the strength of feeling of the community and decide if there is 
consensus
+or not.</p>
+
+<p>Once there is a clear consensus members of the community can proceed with 
+the work under the <a href="/contributor/lazyConsensus">lazy consensus</a> 
model.</p>
