[VOTE] Update by-laws to add section for non-technical decision making (Was: Re: [RESULTS][SUMMARY][DISCUSS][VOTE] List CloudStack related books on the website)

Devs,

I would like to call a vote on the following modification to our by-laws.
This is in response to the

Summary of changes:

* Addition of "3.4.2. Non-Technical Decisions" section. This specifies that
non-technical decisions can be made on any appropriate list (i.e. marketing@)
and also allows us to vote on them with lazy 2/3 majority.
* Changed "The vote must occur on a project development mailing list." to
"The vote must occur on the project development mailing list." in several
places. This makes it explicit that these decisions must be made on
the dev@list.
* Minor rewordings, typographical changes, corrections, section
renumbering, etc.

(I would separate out the minor changes for a separate change, but as we're
voting on each change to this file, I want to reduce voting churn.)

Per the by-laws, we're using a lazy majority for this vote. Please cast
your vote now. I will tally the results in 72 hours.

I don't consider a website change to be technical.

Everyone is free to propose changes to the by-laws. If you want to make a
patch and call a vote on it, by all means, go ahead. :) That sot of stuff
is a good way to become a committer in the first place. ;)

Posted by Mathias Mullins <ma...@citrix.com>.
Noah, 

I agree that there needs to be a delineation. Here's my option on wording
describing what is non-technical:

+3.4.2. Non-Technical Decisions

+Non-technical decisions should normally be made by the entire community
using
+discussion-lead consensus-building, and not through formal voting.
+
+Non-technical decisions are defined as a decision that do not directly
affect
+the code in any branch of the project.
+Including coding, testing, documentation or management of the code base.
+
+Non-technical decisions can be made on whichever project mailing list is
most
+appropriate.
+
+Non-technical decisions cannot be vetoed, but if there is strong
opposition
+a formal vote can be used to resolve the dispute.
+
+If a formal vote is started for a non-technical decision, the vote will be
held
+as a lazy 2/3 majority of active committers.
+
+Any user, contributor, committer or PMC member can initiate a
non-technical
+decision making process.

Less terse follow up... ;)

Note that our current by-laws effectively state that any technical decision
needs to happen on dev@. I am just clarifying the intent.

Note also that we currently do not define what a "technical decision" is,
but it is my opinion that this is any decision which relates to the
CloudStack source code. (We might want to make it a little broader than
that. Open to suggestions.)

Almost everything we do involves technology. Whether that is editing the
website, wiki, JIRA, mailing lists, etc. That doesn't mean that those
activities are "technical activities" or involve "technical decisions".

Do you think our by-laws need a section clarifying technical vs.
non-technical? What should it say?

Erm. Does this mean that marketing can't make any technical decisions
about the Web site, for instance? 

I think this needs to be better worded.

Uh... [This is in response to the] quoted thread wherein Sebastian
highlights that we have nothing in our by-laws to tell us how to make
general non-technical decisions.
