IMO this policy seems reasonable but it's not publically written down anywhere and a little more ceremony and documentation would be required before i find this convincing in practice. may be necessary to go through the records... > > - membership on the PPMC does not guarantee membership on the PMC > > when the podling graduates IMHO in theory, this is a matter for the board which they delegate to the incubator PMC. in practice i think that the PPMC will become the PMC. what would be very useful are some guides about what a PMC is and what it isn't. something along the lines that the pmc should only act in an official capacity when that's absolutely required which is mostly process stuff. didn't come up with a form of wording that i found satisfactory. be very happy if docathoners came up with suitable content :-) - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org
