Rob,

I believe Terry is talking about the openoffice.org domain in situ and =
the existing OOo forums there.  This has nothing to do with anything =
under Apache ooo custody at this time, nor does it have anything to do =
with the test version he has running in order to learn how to port.  It =
was an offer to provide any interim support on the live openoffice.org =
forums, and understand their administration ther, not anything on =
Apache.

I assume that the rights that Terry Ellison has on openoffice.org is not =
anything that were conferred to him via the ASF.

I believe that there is no policy matter here, and if it is it is =
between Oracle and Terry and those Terry approves to be there.

POLICY MATTERS THREADS

There is certainly a policy matter on how administration is done on a =
port to Apache if we insist on operating it on an apache.org domain.

There is a different policy matter, but still one, if we continue to =
operate it on the openoffice.org domain even though hosted in some =
sanitary way on Apache infrastructure.

We already have unresolved discussions on other threads concerning that.

Let me be clearer then.  The -1 is to your proposal to invite
committers and assign them permissions to a private forum.  This is
not a technical objection, but a policy objection.  Please do not take
further steps on this until we can get a Mentor to weigh in on.

Thanks,
