Steering Committee bylaws

Hi all, Some time ago, I posted https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/360 https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/360, an attempt at crafting bylaws for this committee. Conversation has died down, and so I'd like to have a discussion that will lead to amendments and then eventual acceptance (of something). I think it's best for this discussion to be right on the PR, not this thread. However, given that this PR is all about how we function, as a committee, I would like to see participation (ideally, agreement!) from everyone here before proceeding, even if it's just a LGTM. Thanks! Richard

LGTM.

It looks like a good draft to me; doubtless may get refined in the light of experience.

Dear Committee, after some refinement by some of you on the PR (thanks!), Richard would like us to vote on the bylaws. Please review https://github.com/goldfirere/ghc-proposals/blob/bylaws/committee.rst and also the other changes of https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/360/files The maybe most prominent change is the introduction of term limits of 3 years for all who are not Simon. This means that Richard, Iavor and me would, upon acceptance of this proposal, drop out, causing the size of the committee to drop below 9, thus triggering a call for nominations, for which we’d be eligible to re-nominiate ourself. Please have a closer look again, so that we have ironed out all wrinkles, and then very soon can vote about these bylaws.
