Nicola,
I suppose the only slight reservation would be who is accountable? The old "Fred Bloggs is looking after that" can kick in. I think the Incubator PMC also wants to be able to hold people accountable for inubation activities. Gets harder with multiple people.
If the accountable person fails, what can we do? Nothing.
Replace them! That's what the board would do to a PMC chair for a PMC that was not delivering what the board requires.
Our goal is not to have one person accountable, as we are all "accountable" as PMC members, but to have more eyes and hands working on it that are also on our PMC.
Yes and no. (My favourite kind of answer.)
As far as the board is concerned (which is where the PMC reports) - there *is* an accountable person. The chair of the PMC. That doesn't mean that the entire PMC doesn't get involved in any given issue though. As I think Noel said in a later e-mail, this is all a community process.
So - I have no issue at all with having multiple mentors. Completely the opposite - I think it's a good thing. I'm just not sure it's worth making it overly official. A single "official" mentor with multiple helpers?
As I said in the original post - it's only a slight reservation. I've just always found that if there is some single person who has official responsibility for something, it's generally more likely to happen.
Cheers,
Berin
