I think Roy meant; The public list is transparent and is available in public mail archives for anyone to scrutinize. The private PMC lists are not open to outsiders, hence not a good way to promote transparency. (Not sure what needs to be 'legal' in this case, since IMHO this is internal affairs of ASF, that doesn't break any laws. :o) ) Cheers Niclas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
