I just want to say that this requirement of sponsors which should be
members was totally unclear to me when I started talking and working
with the BEA peeps (Cliff Schmidt). So even if this was meant to be by
design, it wasn't very obvious from the information available at the time.
I'm a bit confused, so my apologies if this question is answered
somewhere. Am I reading it right that to be a sponsor for a project in the
incubator one has to be an ASF member?
Based on the aggregation of information of the last few days - it appears that this is *not* official policy. However, it does appear that this is assumed policy in some quarters.
There is no policy yet, but if the incubator was to make a policy, I would be against having an ASF committer which is not a member or officer being an incubating sponsor.
Why? simple enough. If that person was believed good for the job by his/her peers, he would have been already a member or an officer. Or, his/her action would make him/her visible for the next election, if deserved.
Ah, at the end, if a committer considers this unfair, maybe he/she should question him/herself before questioning hundreds of his/her peers.
