IMHO it is also a good idea to prepare for a [VOTE] thread by first having a [DISCUSS] thread (that's the process on private when discussing possible new PPMC and committers.) sometimes as this thread implies that is pretty obvious. In a high volume list this will call attention to an issue. Generally we should be striving to achieve "LAZY CONSENSUS" when doing that it should be a [DISCUSS] or [PROPOSAL] thread. A [VOTE] would then be called if consensus is not present. http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html http://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary.html Regards, Dave > > Greg >
