I would have a simple ruleset: any PMC who have not been been on dev@ or private@ for 3 month and - who do not react to a personal mail requestion a confirmation on private - who do not participate in the vote (implicit a function of the first rule) would be asked to asked to leave, and if no reaction, ask the board for an ACK to remove such people. Please also remark the difference in opinion about what chair is. I do not see a chair as a figure of anything, a chair is a PMC like all other PMC members. But I do accept the fact that the world as such do not always understand "the apache way" and to some the chair is more important. Since I am not into marketing (where the title chair matters) I have no need to be chair. Remark, whoever ends up getting elected (maybe we should really open up for new nominations), I will continue to work as usual. rgds jan i. > > > > > Marcus > > Cheers, > louis > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >
