 <h2 id="actions">Actions</h2>
 <p>This section describes the various actions which are undertaken within the project, the corresponding approval required for that action and those who have binding votes over the action. It also specifies the minimum length of time that a vote must remain open, measured in days. In general votes should not be called at times when it is known that interested members of the project will be unavailable.</p>
