I don't know all the communities around ASF, but what I have seen is that the "acceptance"/"decline" happens after the public vote. Entries to PMCs seems more like "private vote" -> accept/decline -> "welcome" in the communities I know of. Mind you, my own opinion in the matter differs from how things are done, for instance; IMHO either the vote is public OR private, and if the latter then don't have the charade on the public list. That would simplify things at Incubator as well. 1. [Discuss] on [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2. [Vote] on [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3. [Vote] on [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4. [Accept/Decline] in private mail 5.
