Hi all,

over the past weeks, some people in the DataLad community have worked
together to compose a draft describing the (future) governance of the
DataLad project. This draft can be found as a pull-request at

https://hub.datalad.org/www/project.d.o/pulls/4

with commit

https://hub.datalad.org/www/project.d.o/commit/e2676e7b8f09b3ab9b0d2e8f803f9837318282a0

Although this document represents a consensus within the group of
authors, it makes sense to subject it to the same community-approval
process that it describes, specifically in `decisions.md`, section
`Voting`:

https://hub.datalad.org/www/project.d.o/src/commit/e2676e7b8f09b3ab9b0d2e8f803f9837318282a0/content/governance/decisions.md#voting

Therefore, I am calling a vote regarding the adoption of this text as
the governance specification of the DataLad project.

As described in

https://hub.datalad.org/www/project.d.o/src/commit/e2676e7b8f09b3ab9b0d2e8f803f9837318282a0/content/governance/decisions.md#procedure

*everyone* has a vote. Voting is done by replying to this message,
on this mailing list, with `+1`, `+0`, `-0`, or `-1` in this subject
line. Comments and suggestions can be included in the message body.
Such comments must be included for votes that oppose the adoption
process to go forward with the proposed text.

Given the central role of project governance, I believe that an
"unanimous consensus" is desirable. The proposed voting period for this
type of approval is 120h (5 days).

Thank you for voting!

Michael
