Hi,

Despite Alex's efforts this seem to have stalled:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201310.mbox/%3cce743d6a.14a96%25aha...@adobe.com%3e

With a few voting issues coming up recently I think it time to consider having 
our own guidelines. 

Here some I put together from other Apache projects in combination how we have 
been working as a project:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/Draft+Guidelines

Recent changes include:
- removed any mention of what defines an "active" committer or PMC member as 
it's controversial and can be easily gamed
- put in some expected (but not required) committer responsibilities
- filled in what are the default the voting rules

There are some difference from the "default" Apache guidelines
- Committers can veto checkins (seems a better match to me - not that there 
have been many veto's)
- Release candidate votes can be carry over to the next RC by a release manager 
if they so desire
- I also put the length of the Chair as a year with the option of them to stand 
for another year as that to me seem the fairest way to share that 
responsibility.

Feedback is welcome.

Thanks,
Justin
