== Introduction ==

This document defines the guidelines under which a project operates if it hasn't defined it's own guidelines.

It defines the roles and responsibilities of the project, who may vote, how voting works, how conflicts are resolved, etc.

The [[https://www.apache.org/foundation/faq|Apache Foundation FAQ]] and [[http://www.apache.org/foundation/faq.html|How-It-Works]] explain the operation and background of the foundation. Terms used are defined in the [[https://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary|ASF glossary]].

Apache has a [[http://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct.html|code of conduct]] that it expects its members to follow.

== Roles and Responsibilities ==

Apache projects define a set of [[https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#roles|roles]] with associated rights and responsibilities.

=== Project Management Committee ===

The [[http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#what-is-a-pmc|PMC]] has [[https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#pmc|many responsibilities]] including complying with [[http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#policy|ASF policies]], [[https://www.apache.org/foundation/board/reporting|reporting to the board]], [[https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html|voting on releases]] and adding new [[http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#newcommitter|committers]] and [[http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#newpmc|PMC members]].

=== The Chair ===

The [[http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#chair|chair]] ensures board reports are submitted and that the project's roster is up to date.

== Decision Making ==

 - [[https://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary.html#ConsensusApproval|Consensus Approval]] – Consensus approval requires 3 binding +1 votes and no -1 votes ( [[https://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary.html#Veto|vetoes]]).

 - [[https://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary.html#MajorityApproval|Majority Approval]] – requires at least 3 +1 votes more +1 votes than -1 votes.

 - [[https://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary.html#LazyConsensus|Lazy Consensus]] consensus no objections (‘silence gives assent’).
