I'm happy to support you in that effort, even as an assistant chair (and I'd decline Noel's nomination, thanks though for the thought). I think once it's proposed the board will make clear why the position still needs to be filled, even if they accept such a radical rethinking of the process. I think you would make a good choice on both sides of the transition, once there is a clear scope for the other side of the tunnel. I'm happy to help with some of the structure of the incubating-project resolutions, but my time is a bit too limited to handle the copy and paste between situations. Thinking that the gist of the transition be considered and nominally approved or denied by the board in February, and that in the succeeding three months, those project up for reporting with three+ accountable mentors be put forward as incubating projects (unless ready for graduation). Between now and the consideration of those first projects in March, the structure of incubator.a.o would need to be altered slighly. By June, we are left with a handful of projects which simply don't have mentors or participants to propel them even to the stage of being a TLP under incubation. And that month would be the logical point to refer them to the Attic if their IP is clean, or discard them altogether if resources can't be mustered. It's a long ways off, so lots of time to intervene between now and then. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
