  6. Review draft processes we need to adopt, or are using as an interim basis
    1. Principle: "If it didn't happen on the mail list, it didn't happen" - try to make all decisions through the mail list
    2. Principle: "Adopt practices & processes of Apache Software Foundation" as a default
      1. Try to achieve consensus
      2. Use lazy consensus - looking for disapproval.  Decisions proposed are effective unless a TSC member votes against a decision within a 72 hour window
      3. For controversial topics: discussion at face to face meetings.  Vote if quorum present.  Vote on email list if quorum is not present, or business needs to be conducted sooner than a next official meeting

      1. Adopt Apache release process
      2. Nominate a release manager
        1. Tag a version on github, decide which commits get added to a version, find testers, shephards the vote
      3. Entire TSC will vote to make a release - needs quorum - will usually be electronic via the mailing list
