Process is a mechanical means to replace trust. It is useful when an air of
cooperation is not present or is unsure. In an environment of trust, the
rulebook is irrelevant.

Steve, I'd recommend backing off the legalese and stricture. The ASF does
not require it, and I don't think that it adds much to our legal protection.
Go with "easy" and we can always tighten up if needed.
