That was *absolutely not* what was answered.
I re-quote my answer from before:
======
* Everyone is allowed (and encouraged!) to create and promote events
around Apache Pulsar (following the ASF guidelines on trademarks)
* Using "Apache Pulsar Community" as the organizer is a
mischaracterization, since that effort is not coming from the Pulsar
PMC
* These events should be renamed to something that makes it
absolutely clear this is not from Pulsar PMC

Volunteering to take on the effort doesn't give the right to start
acting on behalf of the PMC.
