The PPMC has no standing within the ASF. It is a useful structure for the Incubator, but the only binding votes on a PPMC are those of the Incubator PMC members casting them. The PMC is the recognized entity within the ASF structure responsible for the management of a project, and we need to ensure that decisions go through the PMC in order to maintain that role. Why do you think that I keep pushing the minimum of three (active) Mentors recommendation? > I honestly don't know if this is a case of things evolving rules, or > different IPMC members thinking they agreed with each other and not > realizing they had different ideas, or (equally likely) that I knew > the "right way" to do this long ago and have since lost my mind.

That's fine. My comment to Martin Ritchie was entirely procedural, and not intended to be any sort of slap. I, too, am favorably disposed towards QPid (questions about the specification process aside). If you don't have sufficient votes, let me know, and I will review the archives in order to determine my own vote. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
