This is conflicting from what the site said about governance of podling. PPMC is a part of podling and responsible to manage the podling on behalf of IPMC. I suppose you meant that their votes do not bind but saying it was never part of the structure is misleading or we need to update the ASF webs

The PPMC is not, and never has been, a formally recognized part of our structure. But as I said that's a technicality in this context, the project (PPMC) are the people who really matter from the projects perspective, even though their votes are not binding. The thread seems to be in agreement in

Sounds right to me. As a separate matter of etiquette and community building, it is usually good form for mentors to vote last during the community vote and first in the IPMC vote. On Thu, Jul 24, 2014 at 8:44 PM, P. Taylor Goetz wrote: > My interpretation (and it's just that) is: > > Exampl

My interpretation (and it's just that) is: Example: Release Vote A podling votes to release (VOTE email to dev@project). The PPMC and IPMC/PPMC (i.e. Mentors) member votes are binding at the PPMC level. This means that those votes are binding and community votes are non-binding. If the PPMC v

Ross, The incubator website would be inclined to disagree, and seems to acknowledge there is formally a PPMC at [1]. Justin, I think formally, if you review [2] (you may also want to scroll down, and review later parts of this page on voting), you'll see that the PPMC votes really don't count fo

There is no formal PPMC. When a podling is created all initial committers are equal. I guess some podlings might create the concept of a separate PPMC during incubation. I've never advised that in my own podlings (probably because I'm a believer in an absolute minimum barrier to entry). I guess it'

Hi, Anyone clarify this as it's not mentioned at [1]. Whose votes are binding for releases on the podlings dev list? Obviously mentors and PPMC members, but are IPMC members votes binding? I would assume so but don't see it stated anywhere. Would Apache members votes be binding? Assuming IPMC
