In order to accommodate the challenges of naming a 'U' release in China
some specific clarifications for acceptable names and geographic region
have been defined. I believe these are well within the spirit of the
existing criteria.
Specifically:
* Spelling. Currently, the most popular system of romanization of Mandarin
is the Hanyu Pinyin. Unfortunately, Hanyu Pinyin does not produce any
romanization which begins with the letter U. In order to allow for U
names, romanizations produced by other recognized systems shall be
admissible. For the sake of precision, the accepted systems shall be
Hanyu Pinyin [PY] (official system of China since 1958), Gwoyeu Romatzyh
[GR] (official system of China 1929-1958), Wade–Giles romanization, and
Yale romanization. In practice, only the Gwoyeu Romatzyh system produces
words starting with the letter U. Reference:

* In addition to the romanized names produced by one of the recognized
romanization systems, traditional and customary spellings of names are also admissible.
We've also defined the geographic region as:
1 The municipality of Shanghai. (Note that Shanghai, being a top level
administrative division of China, is not part of a province. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-administered_municipalities_of_China#Current_PRC_municipalities
2 All top level administrative divisions of China which borders Shanghai.
(Jiangsu, Zhejiang)
3 All All top level administrative divisions of China which borders those in
2 above. (Shandong, Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian)
Eric Kao has kindly volunteered to provide cultural and language
knowledge. Thanks Eric.
The timing of this poll is a little different in that I've allowed 1
week between the nominations period closing and the opening of voting.
This is to ensure that there is adequate time to translate the poll and
ensure that all candidate names are correctly classified.

The repository http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/governance/ contains OpenStack Technical Committee reference documents and tracks official resolutions voted by the committee. It also contains a library for accessing some of the machine-readable data in the repository.
Directory structure:
- reference/
Reference documents which need to be revised over time. Some motions will just directly result in reference doc changes.
- resolutions/
When the motion does not result in a change in a reference doc, it can be expressed as a resolution. Those must be named YYYYMMDD-short-name with YYYYMMDD being the proposal date in order to allow basic sorting.
- goals/
Documentation for OpenStack community-wide goals, organized by release cycle. These pages will be updated with project status info over time, and if goals are revised.
See https://governance.openstack.org/tc/ for details.
