Nonetheless, I still find it odd that there has been virtually no "public" discussion of the merits of the proposal and I felt the need to express my opinion. No disrespect for the process, de facto or documented, intended. I would humbly suggest that there is no harm in public discussion of incubator project proposals, understanding that the voting is private, by the PMC. Public discussion and nonbinding statements of support/non-support by non-PMC members could provide valuable information to the PMC in their decision-making. If others disagree, I would appreciate being (gently) enlightened on this point.
