At this point I am going to frankly campaign for myself. I am willing to be the chair of the incubator as we know it, and strive to incrementally improve it. I have no objection to that process including a deliberate consideration of Chris' proposal for a radical restructuring. Given some time, that proposal may beget alternatives of more or less radicallity.
If I understand Chris correctly, he's volunteering on the understanding that the PMC, under his leadership, will move swiftly to adopt something like the scheme he's proposed. This seems to offer a clear choice to the community: if you want the community to focus on a radical restructuring with a strong presumption in favor of Chris' proposal, then ask the board to appoint him. If, on the other hand, you still believe that a new chair would be a good idea, but you believe that time, thought, and perhaps incremental change are more appropriate, then ask the board to appoint me. Or Noel again. Or find another volunteer. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
