I agree on dropping the waiting period.

Our policy for granting access to the Geronimo TCK test harness is describe=
d here -- <a href=3D"https://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxPMGT/geronimo-project-pol=

cies-AccesstoTCK</a><br>

<br>
The policy describes a 72 hour waiting period when granting non-Geronimo co=
mmitters read-only access to our TCK test harness. This period was intended=
 to allow the Geronimo PMC time to provide oversight on these requests. Pre=
sumably, a PMC member could block someone&#39;s request (though this has ne=
ver occurred and I can&#39;t, frankly, imagine a case where we would block =
someone&#39;s request). If we had our preference, our TCK test harness woul=
d not be in a private svn. It would instead be publicly readable by all.<br=
>

<br>
I would like to remove the 72 hour waiting period from our policy. If an AS=
F committer requests access to our test harness, I believe we should grant =
this access immediately.<br>
<br>
The 72 hour waiting period might have been more meaningful when the Geronim=
o project maintained and distributed the Sun (now Oracle) TCK. As a reminde=
r, these materials are obtained via an agreement between the ASF and Sun/Or=
acle. To gain access to these materials, an ASF committer must sign an NDA.=
 We still maintain/distribute the Sun/Oracle TCK for Java EE 5. However, th=
e JCP project is maintaining the newer TCK materials. The JCP does not have=
 a waiting period for granting access to the JCP maintained TCK materials.<=

<br>
Comments? Objections? If I don&#39;t hear any objections, I&#39;ll plan on =
updating our policy and removing the 72 hour window...<br>
