Code Issues Proposed changes

Clean up GovernanceProcess to reflect reality

Browse Source 
In the DefCore Scale cycle, we moved some older process documents
out of the OpenStack wiki and into Gerrit in order to more easily
maintain them.  The original imports were largely a "lift and shift"
of the wiki text, with improvements and cleanups to be driven later.

The Governance Process document in particular is quite dated and
contains information that has changed substantially over time.  This
patch attempts to clean it up by modfiying it to reflect current
reality while also maintaing some flexibility for the future.  For
example, we haven't used Google Hangouts for meetings in many months,
so the patch simply states that meetings will be open and the means
to join them will be posted on the wiki and/or mailing list (thus
allowing us to use other collaboration tools in the future without
needing to ammend process).

Governance Process
==================
* Meetings will be interactive using Google Hangouts (we will already
stream for non-committee members)
* Meetings will be open to all community members. Information about how
and when to join meetings will be posted on the
defcore-committee@lists.openstack.org mailing list and/or the
`DefCore Committee wiki page
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/DefCoreCommittee>`_.
* Members are expected to to their homework. We will not be rehashing
due to time limits.

`DefCore Committee wiki page
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/DefCoreCommittee>`_.
* Meetings will work from resolutions that are proposed in advance with
+/- voting (cochairs are +/-2)
- As per Board of Directors policy we welcome broad engagement but
cannot allow proxies on resolutions
- resolution +/- could be asserted before the meeting (but may have
to be overruled based on discussion)
* Process documents and other "rules of the road" will be maintained and
voted on in `Gerrit
<http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/defcore>`_. Committee
chairs will have +/-2 voting privilleges.
