GitHub user Xuanwo created a discussion: [DISCUSS] Proposed initial PMC and Chair for Apache Reqsign
## Background In [Discussion #821](https://github.com/apache/opendal-reqsign/discussions/821), the community reached strong consensus to pursue preparation for spinning Reqsign out of Apache OpenDAL as a standalone top-level project. Before starting a formal vote, we need to agree on the proposed initial Project Management Committee (PMC) and identify a candidate for the initial PMC Chair. These names will be included in the proposed Board resolution. This is a non-binding **DISCUSS** thread focused only on the initial PMC and Chair. The final roster and Chair will be confirmed by the subsequent formal vote and, ultimately, by the ASF Board resolution. ## Proposed initial PMC The following current OpenDAL PMC members explicitly volunteered in Discussion #821 to serve on the new PMC: - @tisonkun - @PsiACE - @erickguan - @Xuanwo - @dentiny - @koushiro - @silver-ymz - @suyanhanx - @dqhl76 Please confirm that you are still willing to serve, or say if you would prefer not to be included. Self-nominations are also open to anyone in the OpenDAL and Reqsign community who has demonstrated involvement and is willing to take active responsibility for the project. A self-nomination does not automatically appoint someone to the PMC; all nominations will be considered when preparing the roster for the formal vote. When confirming or self-nominating, please provide: - your full name and Apache ID as they should appear in the resolution; - your current affiliation, or "independent"; - the areas you are willing to help own, such as release management, review, security, community growth, website/infrastructure, or Board reporting. ## Initial PMC Chair Nominations for the initial PMC Chair are open to any self-nomination. The Chair is the PMC's administrative liaison to the ASF Board and does not have greater decision-making authority than other PMC members. If no other candidate self-nominates, @Xuanwo is willing to serve as the initial PMC Chair. If there is more than one candidate, we will discuss the candidates here and confirm the proposed Chair in the formal vote. ## Timeline and next step This discussion will remain open for at least seven days, through **2026-08-24 23:59 UTC**. After the discussion closes, we will summarize the confirmed PMC roster and Chair candidate, prepare the full proposed Board resolution and transition plan, and start the formal OpenDAL community/PMC vote.
