Thanks Brian.

Currently the specs are controlled by our community process, "The
Jini Community Decision Process (JDP)". Details can be found at
<http://jini.org/jdp/>.

Right now we're leaning towards moving the specs into the Apache
project (if accepted), and having them controlled by the
PMC/committers of the project. This would replace the JDP's role
in controlling changes to the specs. The whole of the Jini Community
would still have a strong influence in what happens with the specs
(through the Apache project aliases, etc), and for those in the
Community wanting to get involved in a more substantive way, they
have the opportunity to become a committer/be on the PMC.

It's still somewhat of an open issue and is being discussed
right now in the Jini Community.
