I'm pleased to say that both proposals received all positive votes, with no negative. So I've merged them and they are not official governance policies for the WildFly Commonhaus Organization and for the WildFly AS top level project.

Thank you all! This is an important step forward for the project.

In a next step I'll submit PRs to add GOVERNANCE.md files to the https://github.com/wildfly/.github and https://github.com/wildfly-extras/.github repos. These will basically be pointers to the documents in wildfly/wildfly-governance that we just merged. We need to have a GOVERNANCE.md in each repo, or in a .github repository for any GH organization that has such a repo. For WildFly AS repos at least we shouldn't repeat the details; just point to wildfly-governance which will always hold the currently effective policy.

For maintainers of WildFly AS repos in other GH organizations, please let me know how you'd like to proceed adding GOVERNANCE.md files to your repos.

I'm requesting your vote on the proposed governance documents for the WildFly Commonhaus Organization and one for the WildFly Application Server top level WCO project.

WCO -- https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-governance/pull/4
WildFly AS -- https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-governance/pull/5

In my September 17 'Next steps on WildFly Governance' post here I noted PRs. Thank you for your feedback on those. I hope I've answered any questions and I know I've made some small adjustments based on your input. Discussion has been quiet for a bit now, so I think it's reasonable to proceed with a formal approval process starting today, as I mentioned in my previous post.
The process is simple, and follows something Commonhaus has done on similar things.

To record your opinion, do one of the following on each PR

* Approve the PR or react with (:+1:) in the top description box if it looks good to you

* Review with Comments or react with (:eyes:) in the top description box if you're "ok" with it (it may not be your favorite.)

* If you think it needs discussion or revision
* Create a review, add your comments and require changes
* Use the +- button to make a suggestion (instead of just adding a comment).

We'll record opinions for two weeks. On October 21 I'll tabulate the results.
