There you go again Robert, making up rules about corporate governance that have no basis in reality. It is certainly a-ok for the Incubator to charge mentors with the primary responsibility of performing oversight over their podlings- after all mentors are ON THE IPMC! If we need to make a collective decision to terminate a podling, we can do that, but ideally it's based on the advice and counsel of the mentors. Advice that to this point has not been particularly forthcoming from the Kato mentors. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
