stephen, this carp of yours is really starting to get up my nose. stefano did nothing of the sort; here's the *whole* part of his message which you conveniently snipped:
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.
there's nothing in there making the least attempt to justify anything about the incubator. it's a statement of stefano's opinion of how he'd feel *if* a particular policy were developed, and why he feels that way.
so, please: knock it off.
Ken:
I'll "knock it off" when there are a sufficiently complete set of policies and procedures in place (i.e. documented and adopted) such that the need for Member status is clearly identified as the legal aspect of representation of the Foundation (and/or any other quantifiable and accountable attribute this forum sees fit to attribute). This is distinctly different from the justification based of differentiation between members and non-members that Stefano describes above. By addressing the *real* issue (policies and procedures) that establish these roles and responsibilities we have a framework for accountability.
With such a framework in place the necessity for particular "Members" to discriminate between Member versus non-Member as a justification for the decision on policy simply disappears. So lets "knock it off" with the "knock it off" and focus instead on getting roles, responsibilities and ultimate accountability of the Incubator in place.
I should have a first draft ready in a couple of hours.
How about you?
Stephen.
