<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So what are we proposing for our voting rules (2/3 majority to approve something or a simple majority ?) and on exactly which things will require a vote and which things can just be handled using the typical

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">My suggestion would be that for approval of releases of code, that the WG should have at least 2/3 majority approval.<br>
Also, if there is accompanying documentation to support the code (architecture specs that define semantics, etc.) that a 2/3 vote should be required.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I would suggest not requiring votes for the day to day open source development of the intermediate code drops(before a major release),
<br>
i.e., submitting and integrating patches, fixing bugs, adding incremental improvements, etc. For that work, just use the open source<br>
development model that we use today as we do for all the other components that OFA produces.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Woody – I don’t completely disagree, but there is a bit of a chicken and egg problem w.r.t. creating a set of working group processes and procedures. How do the chairs go about suggesting and approving formal
adoption of the working group processes and procedures? There is also a requirement in the bylaws that working group policies and procedures by approved or ratified by the Board.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Keep in mind that we do have an official chair now since one could argue that Jim is our board-approved chair until the board changes that. So it seems like a good idea to begin the discussion of governing documents
now.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m sorry for the length of the attached, but I don’t believe there’s any way around it. I reviewed the OFA Bylaws and the IBTA Guidelines for suggestions as to how to identify the areas we touched on in our meeting yesterday, and additional
areas suggested by the Guidelines themselves.<o:p></o:p></p>
