Gee, this is getting very cryptic. How about i just ask a straight question... Does the vote need to happen in view of the general public for that to be considered a legal decision of the project PMC? Answering myself, i say no: whatever way the PMC does it is entirely up to them. Does anyone have a different answer? > Haven't you ever noticed the seeming > disconnect between having the discussion (and vote) in private, and the > instructions to the PMC that they should send a link to the vote thread as > part of the account request? The "link" that we provide is the date that the vote occurred on our pmc list. Perhaps we should also provide the MessageId. So no, i don't see a disconnect other than the work link is a bit ambiguous. I take it to mean: "provide a way to correlate the PMC decision with this action of creating a new committer account". -David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
