Included below is a update based on feedback on the list over the last 24 hours to the subject of the draft Avalon PMC resolution. The text of resolution remains unchanged with the exception of the addition of the names of committers that have chosen to opt-in. Please check the to make sure I haven't missed your name.
Based on list messages to-date I have the impression that a majority want to move forward with this in conjunction with the November 18 PMC Meeting (remember - I said majority, not consensus). As such, I have not made any changes to the proposed vote schedule as originally posted. Given that we need feedback from the board by Wednesday, I would like to forward the current draft to Greg later today just to verify that there are no glaring issues in the wording or any omissions in the overall resolution. Here is the schedule and draft resolution without the running commentary. Wednesday 13 November --------------------- * Finalize the resolution * Incorporate feedback from the Apache Board * Close the list of named PMC members * Naming of the Chair Thursday 14 November -------------------- * Initiation of a [VOTE] * Majority vote limited to Avalon comitters * 72 hour vote (3 day) duration Saturday 16 November -------------------- * Vote count and notification of results.
