| <section name="Project Management Committee Bylaws"> | |
| <p> | |
| The Project Management Committee (PMC) was formed by the Apache Board | |
| on 18 March 2010. <!-- The bylaws were last amended on 6 October 2004. --> | |
| There is no preset number of seats on the PMC. The PMC will strive to | |
| add every committer that, in the opinion of the PMC as | |
| determined by a vote, displays the capability and desire to help guide | |
| the project. The PMC will nominate a chairperson from amongst their | |
| ranks for presentation to the Board. The list of current members can be found in our | |
| <a href="team-list.html">team list</a>. | |
| </p> | |
| <subsection name="Roles"> | |
| <p> | |
| The PMC is responsible for the strategic direction | |
| and success of the UIMA Project. This governing body is expected to | |
| ensure the project's welfare and guide its overall direction. The PMC | |
| may not necessarily participate in the day-to-day coding but is | |
| involved in the overall development plans, the alleviation of any | |
| bottlenecks, the resolution of conflicts, and the overall technical | |
| success of the project. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| The PMC is answerable to the Apache Board with its Chairman serving as | |
| primary liaison. | |
| </p> | |
| </subsection> | |
| <subsection name="Meetings"> | |
| <p>The PMC discusses issues and determines strategic direction via mail | |
| list. All binding votes happen on the PMC list. | |
| </p> | |
| </subsection> | |
| <subsection name="Membership"> | |
| <p> | |
| PMC members may resign at any time. A committer will remain on the UIMA | |
| PMC until removed by desire of the committer, action of the board, or | |
| vote by the PMC. The Chairman may resign as Chairman at any time | |
| without resigning membership to the PMC. The chairperson will serve | |
| until voluntary resignation, action of the board, or vote by the PMC. | |
| The Chairman or any member may be removed from the PMC by a 3/4 | |
| vote of the PMC. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| In order to be elected to the PMC, a person must have served as a | |
| <a href="roles.html">Committer</a> and be | |
| nominated by a PMC Member. The nominee must receive 3/4 positive vote | |
| with a minimum of 3 positive votes. Abstaining PMC voters do not | |
| affect the result. | |
| </p> | |
| </subsection> | |
| <subsection name="Creation of Subprojects"> | |
| <p> | |
| PMC members may propose the creation of new subprojects. Creation of | |
| a new subproject requires approval by 3/4 positive vote with a minimum | |
| of 3 positive votes of the PMC. Abstaining PMC voters do not | |
| affect the result. New code enters the UIMA Project in accordance with | |
| ASF policy. | |
| </p> | |
| </subsection> | |
| <subsection name="Voting"> | |
| <p>The call for a vote on issues not detailed here may specify | |
| requirements for passage. The minimum and default requirement for a | |
| passing vote is simple majority of PMC members casting ballots. | |
| The default voting period is 10 days and the minimum is 7 days unless | |
| the success or failure is arithmetically known. | |
