I don't know, Simon. I suspect there are a variety of approaches to how reports to the Board are arrived at on Apache Projects. The most visible activity I have seen is on the Incubator PMC, and I suspect that is a level to aspire to.
I am also fairly confident that the Chair has great flexibility although it remains the Chair's specific accountability. For substantive matters and issues that don't fall into those few categories that require private treatment at the PMC, I anticipate that the community will be fully apprised, even before any mention in a report to the Board, assuming it needs any Board attention at all. If I, as Chair, fall short in assuring that, it will be evident in any disparity between the accepted Board reports and what the community would find unsurprising. I would expect to be called-out on that and I will clean it up. The Board places great reliance on PMCs to manage affairs at the level where they are the most informed and able to act. I suspect they count on the Chair and the reports to the board as assurance that such reliance is warranted. I will provide more that might be useful to you in my response to the question from Louis Suárez-Potts. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Simon Phipps [mailto:si...@webmink.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2015 02:07 To: dev <dev@openoffice.apache.org>; orc...@apache.org Subject: Re: 2015-08-24 Future Board Reports On Tue, Aug 25, 2015 at 4:26 AM, Dennis E.
