Changes to Eclipse Bylaws
The recently proposed revisions to the Eclipse Foundation Bylaws were voted on and approved,
with 224 voting "yes," and 5 voting "no." The changes went into effect on August 15, 2011. The revised Bylaws
have been published on the Governance page on the eclipse.org site. Below is
a summary of the Bylaw changes:
- Replace the annual Roadmap with an annual community report
- Eliminate the Membership Committee. Make the IP Advisory Committee a Standing Committee
- Delete the Requirements Council
- Put the Architecture Council in charge of future revisions of the Eclipse Development Process
- Delete the requirement for there to be a ratio of Strategic Consumers to Strategic Developers
- Remove the requirement that the AGM be in Q1
- Allow for flexibility in covering expenses
- Sustaining Member board reps need to be a Sustaining Member
- One committer one vote; the total number of candidates from the same organization may not exceed one-half of the total number of
seats available for that year's annual at-large election
