The Office of the President doesn't have any oversight over PMCs, so strictly speaking the IPMC can proceed with this however it likes on whatever timetable it sees fit. However, please don't be surprised if/when we deny requests to Infrastructure because they exceed what we have available in time/staff/money; we're also likely to push a number of tasks down to the podling itself. With my VP Infra/member/IPMC member hats on, I'd prefer seeing the plan for plugins.nb.o in place before you consider this. As Greg said elsewhere, I don't think that piece can be ignored - it's vital to the community, and any agreement would need to be formally agreed to by the foundation (similar to the contract we have with Sonatype) if the project moved here. I'd also point out the comments from Ross to the IPMC about budget and get that squared away before you proceed. --David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
