Bylaws Ratification
The vote to ratify the OpenJDK Community Bylaws started at 16:00 UTC on Tuesday, 14 June 2011 and ended at the same time two weeks later, on Tuesday 28 June 2011.
Results
To approve the Bylaws required a Two-Thirds Majority of the Ratification Electorate. That is, there needed to be at least twice as many Yes votes as No votes, and at least three Yes votes.
The final tally was
| 70 | Yes |
| 0 | No |
| 9 | Abstain |
and so the Bylaws were ratified.
For details see the summary of votes, the complete log of all ballots recorded, and the actual ballots themselves, including comments.
Who could vote?
The Ratification Electorate was composed of those Contributors who created at least five unique nontrivial changesets in the OpenJDK Mercurial repositories in the two years preceding the start of the Ratification Vote. A nontrivial changeset has only one parent (i.e., it's not a merge changeset) and does not just add or remove a tag.
This definition was chosen by the Governing Board because it's based on verifiable, publicly-available data and is likely to admit only serious contributors while not going so far as to limit the electorate to just those who have been contributing from the start. For more information please see the minutes of the relevant Board meeting.
