The wording of the original mail is ambiguous imo.

"The vote requires 2/3 majority of the binding +1s to pass."

This to me reads very much "This vote passes if 2/3 of all votes after the voting period are +1."

Maybe it's just a wording thing, but it was not clear to me that this follows the 2/3 majority scheme laid out in the bylaws.

AFAIK this voting scheme is described in the "Modifying Bylaws" section,
in the end introducing bylaws is a modify operation ;) . I think it is a
valid point to CC priv...@flink.apache.org in the future. I wouldn't say
it is a must though. The voting scheme requires that every PMC member
has to be reached out directly, via a private address if he/she did not
vote in a thread. So every PMC member should be aware of the voting thread.

Best,

I'm very late to the party, but isn't it a bit weird that we're using
a voting scheme that isn't laid out in the bylaws?

Additionally, I would heavily suggest to CC priv...@flink.apache.org,
as we want as many PMC as possible to look at this.
(I would regard the this point as a reason for delaying  the vote
conclusion)

Hi all,

I would like to start a voting thread on the project bylaws of Flink. It
aims to help the community coordinate more smoothly. Please see the
bylaws
wiki page below for details.

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=120731026


The discussion thread is following:

http://apache-flink-mailing-list-archive.1008284.n3.nabble.com/DISCUSS-Flink-project-bylaws-td30409.html


The vote will be open for at least 6 days. PMC members' votes are
considered as binding. The vote requires 2/3 majority of the binding
+1s to
pass.

Thanks,

Jiangjie (Becket) Qin
