+1 to everything Billie says here. I typically advise all podlings to avoid adopting bylaws unless there is a compelling reason to differ from the ASF standard. The "tasked with adopting bylaws" clause in graduation resolutions is unnecessary and has proliferated, IMO, through copy/paste. I s

As Billie says, our bylaws don’t require a vote to assign a release manager. However, an RM certainly needs the support of the community to be effective, so all these +1’s are very much appreciated! :-) Thanks, --Matt On 3/22/17, 8:30 AM, "Billie Rinaldi" wrote: Not everything needs to be vo

Not everything needs to be voted upon. The ASF guidelines and Metron's bylaws specify which actions require a vote. Other types of things, like choosing a release manager, can be approved by lazy consensus. I just noticed that Metron's bylaws have slightly different definitions for the approval typ
