I think that what I intended to say and what you seem to have heard are two different things. Don't worry, I'm in agreement. :-) Current process: individual PPMCs produce reports. IPMC chair bundles and forwards. Board reviews, provides comments to IPMC chair. For whatever reason, this has not been effective in closing the loop. Proposed process (as I understand it): PPMCs produce reports. Board reviews, provides comments to PPMC chair. That does seem to me to be much more likely to be an effective process. >> First, having the board vote on the creation of each podling is a bit >> too heavy weight.

I'm wondering if I should be offended. :-P - Sam Ruby --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
