No. We are a Community. We do not ALLOW an "accountable person" to fail. We are supposed to be here on behalf of the ASF and on behalf of the podling. It isn't a matter of an accountable person failing. If we see things not getting done, we need to take some responsibility. Yes, there will be too many projects for everyone to be everywhere. That is why we need to make sure that the PMC is large enough. But we must structure things so that there are enough eyes, and trust that if any ONE person sees something, that they will make sure it gets addressed. That may mean taking care of it, or it may mean making sure that it gets taking care of, but either way, we are all responsible. You may not be able to directly address something, but you can still raise the issue with fellow PMC members, solicite advise and/or participation, make sure that you get some, raise it to the Board if you don't, and get the Committers involved. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
