Having just been through it ;-) this sounds very reasonable to me. I am not sure the issue of emeritus committers needs to be addressed since that can be handled by the project once it's up and running... The main thing seems to be the clarification around the initial committer list and PPMC membership.

Bergman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 12:43 PM To: general@incubator.apache.org Subject: REVISED Policy on Initial Committer and PPMC members Based upon all of the discussion, I'll pose the following as what I hope is an agreeable solution: ---------------------- The Champion shall work with the incoming community to identify the initial committers. The Champion shall review each with the incoming community to justify each inclusion (active committer, highly desired new committer, etc., but not arbitrary). The proposal does not need to include the justification, although the Champion should share it (and any concerns) with the Incubator PMC. The Champion shall work with the incoming community identify the initial PPMC members*. The Champion shall review each with the incoming community to justify each inclusion. The proposal does not need to include the justification, although the Champion should share it (and any concerns) with the Incubator PMC. [Editiorial: the topic of Emeritus Committers is unaddressed, on the grounds that when an Emeritus Committer asks to become a Committer, there is still a vote, and there is no requirement that the Community apply any specific barrier to (re-)entry.] The Champion shall include the list(s) in the Project Proposal submitted to the Incubator PMC for voting to accept the project. Upon a successful vote to accept, the proposal as accepted shall determine the initial committer and PPMC lists. *Incubator PMC members have oversight on all Incubator projects, and need not be listed, although Mentors need to be identified when the project is accepted. ---------------------- Needless to say (as anyone who has observed the discussion around the process proposal should realize), this is offered invite discussion, wordsmithing and consensus. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
