I think you may be missing a nuance in the suggestion below. The chair of a PMC is a VP of the foundation. It is not a role of power rather responsibility within the project (although admittedly the title can be important outside the ASF - that's the reward for some people). The suggestion below is that at some point during incubation the podling should elect their own champion who will take on the responsibilities of the champion. In actuality those responsibilities as defined in this thread are almost identical to the role of a PMC chair (they have responsibilities to the board rather than the incubator IPMC). The suggestion below that the PPMC member elected as champion be the eventual VP is just a suggestion that the PPMC elected champion will be the PMC chair when the podling graduates. Personally I think this is very sensible. > > - Dennis > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mattmann, Chris A (388J) [mailto:chris.a.mattm...@jpl.nasa.gov] > Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2011 07:45 > To: general@incubator.apache.org > Subject: Re: [PROPOSAL] Clarify the role of the Champion as an "incubation > coordinator" (was: should podlings have informal chairs?) > > That would work for me, Bertrand...with the assumption that the > later *Champion* would be the eventual VP.
