Violating my 24 hour rule just this one, and worse yet to repeat myself: +1 Joe, Ross, etc.
I rather regret mentioning the direct launch alternative in my most recent email. We have some weakness in _mentoring_, and more weakness in _supervising_ (or at least in documenting supervision). We have a few competing proposals for changes to address these, especially supervision weakness. I wish that I felt confident as Joe does that just electing more people from inside the projects was all we needed to do; maybe Alan's idea combined with that is the way to go. Recently we had a situation on private where I felt that there was a consensus to be had, but some people needed to be nudged a bit to allow it to emerge. That's not what I see here when considering the choices of using more or less of shepherds, champions, and mentors. One possible path is that, at some point, I as VP pick one. I plan to let this discussion continue for at least a week, if not more, before I remotely consider taking that step. I think it's clear, though, that _this committee_ does not believe in the 'direct-to-PMC' model, so anyone interested in that alternative should talk elsewhere and/or with the board, as per Ant's message.
