That is a new criteria to me. Hadn't heard that one before. Personally, I don't think that it scales. In my opinion, the Incubator PMC ought to operate analogously to the ASF Board. Since the PMC, itself, most likely has nothing to do with the project code, an ASF Member sponsoring the project ought to fill an analogous role to the Incubator PMC that the Project VP fills to the ASF Board. In that way, the podling has to bring that oversight resource with it. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
