The measure passes. I will place the following text on the board agenda: "The ComDev PMC hereby requests that the board create a President's committee tasked with supporting our communities in their efforts to be diverse and welcoming places, and tasked with helping the ASF formulate a strategy to improve our diversity and inclusiveness. The ComDev PMC likewise formally requests that the new committee look for ways in which ComDev can support our progress in these areas."
The vote results are as follows: (The * indicate someone who is listed in the D&I proposal.) (The - indicate someone who made the caveat that the board should decide the committee form or someone who is ambivalent about committee form.) +1, Binding (8) Myrle Krantz * Shane Curcuru * Ross Gardler * Gris Cuevas * Bertrand Delacretaz *- Oliver Heintz Sharan Foga - Rich Bowen *- +1, Non-binding (8) Naomi Slater * Joan Touzet * Awasum Yannick Pierre Smits Jacques Le Roux Nate McCall Dinesh Joshi * Kevin McGrail *- -1, Non-binding (1) Tim Williams Other, Binding (2) Ulrich Stärk "+0. not sure if a president's committee is the best way of getting this done or whether it would be better to have it as part of ComDev. But better do something than nothing at all. Plus, we can fix stuff later so I'll leave it to those wanting to drive it to figure it out." Jim Jagielski "I am +1 on the spin out; I am -1 on ComDev specifying a President's cmmt as the form of the spin out." For the record: Proposed text for the resolution was made available for discussion on April 30th here: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/b985c0a7c00bf8bc7239721b233f3fc76e49a9e8e5809b8c02cd5f7d@%3Cdev.community.apache.org%3E Separate discussion of the committee form was started here on May 1st. The last post on that thread also occurred on May 1st. https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/460bb18a855a1682a4ccab35b8c7d1a5bc9830ce394be28cb4f82de2@%3Cdev.community.apache.org%3E One person declined to participate, the rest seemed generally in favor of a president's committee. I explicitly stated that I would delay the vote on this measure until the discussion about committee form had completed, making it clear to the PMC that this vote was also about the form of the committee: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/fecbfbd78dad49325ba036a9ea10d2fbf9bf804a6abce11c3054b7e0@%3Cprivate.community.apache.org%3E I started the vote on May 5th, 3 days after the discussion on committee form completed. I'm closing it now on May 10th (5 days later). There was wide ranging and extensive discussion in the month of April, and considerable time to participate in the more targeted discussion at the beginning of May. I am posting these results to both comdev and board, because the level of consensus w.r.t committee form has been a topic on board.
