+No other voting actions are defined. If a new one is found to be needed, it should be added to these bylaws.
+
+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.

+Voting actions for the removal of a committer or PMC member are intentionally not defined. According to ASF rules, [committer status never expires](http://www.apache.org/dev/committers.html#committer-set-term) and [the ASF board removes PMC members](http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#pmc-removal).
