ok. i'll prepare a patch for the process :) since the incubator needs it in subversion (not JIRA) we should be asking pmc's to approach their chair (or a member) to handle software grants. if no one jumps in to correct me, i'll prepare a patch for the process. > AIUI only the ASF secretary has the authority to modify code grants, because > they are only valid when received at the ASF central office. i'm not sure i grok this. jim acknowledged receipt a while ago. why is this modifying a code grant? (i've been trying to follow the documented process - as much to try to find and fix any holes as much as anything else - so it's been a little slow...) ATM the process specifies a positive VOTE from the pmc. this seems like a waste of time (as noel hinted during that vote) since any committer who objects could simply veto the commit of the code. IMHO the IP clearance process would work best as a pure legal process with the incubator overseeing the legal ticks. opinions on removing the requirement for a positive pmc vote from the process? BTW 1 opinions on the [REQUEST] prefix? 2 would some sort of stronger tie between the summary document and the grant file be better? - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
