Since there's no compromise that would secure your vote, I'll go with my best judgment and require that the manifest be approved by a Mentor (without the ASF Member requirement). We could further relax it to approval-by-an-IPMC-Member, but such an approval would be inferior in the same way that a non-Mentor's freelance +1 is inferior under the current system. > I LIKE this process in all aspects except this change in the 3 +1 from the > IPMC rule. Can the VOTE separate the two experiments? So... * Ant likes the voting rule change, but is opposed to the checklist. * Dave likes the checklist but is opposed to the voting rule change. Sigh. There's no reason to have a VOTE on the checklist alone unless we want to make it mandatory: podlings have to fill it out in order to release, but IPMC members remain free to ignore it when they vote. Such an initiative seems unlikely to pass. Dave, if we can't arrive at a consensus compromise, even for authorizing an experiment, that's unfortunate -- but as with Ant, I'm grateful for our give-and-take and I believe that the proposal is much improved for it.
