But I notice that the initial composition of an incubating Podling PMC is not a suggested part of the incubator proposal. No one seems responsible for it. And there is just a guideline:
<guides/ppmc.html>The Podling Project Management Committee (PPMC) helps a Podling learn how to govern itself. It works like a PMC but reports to the Incubator PMC instead of to the ASF Board. Initially, it is composed of the Podling's mentors and initial committers. The PPMC is directly responsible for the oversight of the podling and it also decides who to add as a PPMC member.
</guides/ppmc.html> I'd like to clarify this if possible.1. Since it is just a guideline, should we say that the mentors are responsible for establishing the PPMC?
2. Is there any oversight to this process by the Incubator PMC? For example, if the mentors decide not to follow the guideline.
3. Recently, the file committers/board/incubator-info.txt was added. Should the process be updated to include the responsibility to post the initial ppmc membership to this list?
If there is consensus on taking any action on these questions, I volunteer to propose the changes to the incubator web site.
