Hi,

> I think this thread misses the point of the original observation.

Several people has said the issue is that the IPMC is too big and you yourself 
said how IPMC members join was an issue. This email was trying to address that. 
Your response means I guess that you changed your mind?

At least one person said they should be removed. We’ve contacted them all one 
by one several months ago and asked them to sign up. This was mentioned in an 
incubator board report. We also added more moderations to the private list. A 
couple did sign up and a couple stood down form the IPMC, but the majority did 
nothing. Looking at them, most are totally inactive, the few who are slightly 
active occasionally do helpful things. I’m not sure we can force them to sign 
up. (Although I did notice one did today.) Any suggestions?

Do you consider voting on releases by the IPMC to be interference? If mentors 
are not active how do podlings make releases if they cannot get 3 +1 mentor 
votes on their list?          

Thanks,
