In my proposal, that is ComDev.
And the proposed edit doesn't change ComDev's role one bit in terms of the documentation of ASF project documentation, either. The only proposed edit if the board desires would be to retain a VP, Project Incubation as the board's agent in making things happen when the champion/mentors are less familiar with the technical details, and align the day to day process of incubation to address the board's ever evolving requirements and concerns. Think of VP, Project Incubation as the Board's and ComDev's agent for change as it becomes necessary. Like VP, Java Community it would be a stub/inactive placeholder most of the rest of the time. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
