Hi All,

Based on the vote (3 PMC +1s and no -1s) and based on the discussions in
the doc (seems to be mostly positive), I think we can go ahead and
implement some of the policies discussed so far.

I have given some of the potential action items below.

* Automatically generate human readable reports on status of Beam
dependencies weekly and share in dev list.
* Create JIRAs for significantly outdated dependencies based on above
reports.
* Copy some of the component level dependency version declarations to top
level.
* Try to identify owners for dependencies and specify owners in comments
close to dependency declarations.
* Vendor any dependencies that can cause issues if leaked to other
components.
* Add policies discussed so far to the Web site along with reasoning (from
doc).

Of course, I'm happy to refine or add to these polices as needed.

Thanks,
Cham
