We are "safe" in the simple sense that we can absolutely shut it down at any time. Either the Jakarta PMC, or if they take no action, then the Board itself. Note that the Board is just as concerned about projects being corporate-owned under the ASF umbrella rather than truly ASF-owned. Our mandate specifically requires us to be concerned, and to take action when problems arise. Personally, it sounds very much like Cliff has the right intentions and has put a lot of thought into it. I might suggest there isn't much more need to continue to grill him on the topic :-) Cheers, -g -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...
