I agree about given name and family name. The field 'family first' is unnecessary and confusing. > By default, if the requested id is filled, the given name should be the > (family first)? cn[0] : cn[-1] > And the sn should be (family first)? cn[-1] : cn[0] We should not try to parse the Public Name; instead family name should be required on the ICLA. > And do we really need the field for PMC Vote? I think there needs to be some way to check that an email sent from a prospective committer has the backing of a (P)PMC. That is why I suggested separating the filing of the ICLA from requesting the account. The potential committer sends the ICLA. This is checked for self-consistency (only) and filed, with a reply back to the sender and the (P)PMC if specified. The additional details required for LDAP are saved along with the email as key. If the request has the backing of the (P)PMC, they login to Whimsy to request that the account be created. They only need to provide the email. At which point the Secretary can create the LDAP account and add it to the committer group for the (P)PMC. It could be left to the (P)PMC to add them as members once the NOTICE has been served. If it is desired that the Secretary take on this role as well, then the PMC will need to confirm that the proper NOTICE has been served. However I think that PMCs need to take full responsibility for updating their committee. Why should the Secretary do it when a new account is being created and not subsequently? > The second entry would be for secretary to handle new account requests from > PMC members.
