It's already happening - see the VOTE thread ;-) > Now, part of the reason I'm asking this unusual (from ASF's meritocracy > perspective) question is because in all other PMCs the accumulated > merit is what really 'vouches' for the person during the PMC nomination. Correct. I am not aware of your work in the Incubator so I can't vote +1 for you (I'm +0). But as you will see there are plenty of people who feel they can recognise your merit. Job done. > IPMC, on the other hand, feels different since, practically speaking, the > accumulation of the kind of merit IPMC cares for require *some* level > of IPMC karma already. Historically the IPMC has been ASF Members request to join and are granted as a matter of course. Around six months ago we started to change this when and voted in someone like yourself, who had demonstrated sufficient merit here in the Incubator to warrant IPMC membership regardless of ASF Member status. As it happens they are now a Member as well, but in the few months between IPMC vote and Membership vote he had already helped with reviews and binding +1s on a couple of podling releases. So you are right IPMC has, historically been a little different, but not really by design and we are changing this as we speak. As you can see from the VOTE thread the process is now much more like it is elsewhere in the ASF. Ross > > Thanks, > Roman. > > P.S.
