Examples: Officers (i.e., people who author reports) and ASF members can access the board agenda tool. >From time to time you may see VPs of non-PMC groups in pmc-chairs, and infrastructure staff in members. So while both ldap-groups identify their primary purpose, they both have been abused. I'm aware of some talk within the infra team to rethink all of this. Not sure what the status of that effort is, but as long as the whimsy tools are updated along the way, there shouldn't be a problem. > Is this documented anywhere? Doubtful. - Sam Ruby
