It sounds pretty negative. Seems >> to me that a disfunctional PMC is best remedied by intervention of "the >> next higher body", The next higher body is the PMC Chair. As of the last Board meeting, Chairs can now alter the composition of the PMC without needing to send a resolution to the Board for voting upon. However, the Chair *does* need to send a notification to the Board about the change, a Direct must ACK the notification, and then it takes effect 72 hours after that. This gives the Board a chance to deal with rogue changes to the PMC composition, but otherwise leaves it to the PMC Chair to add/remove members as appropriate. The paragraph should simply be stricken. It doesn't mesh with reality. > That clause exists in the original charter taken from xml.apache.org, > and approved by the ASF Board. Nope. The Board has never approved a PMC charter. Whatever the XML guys wrote, it hasn't been reviewed and ratified by the Board. > Your negative response to that clause > may be a conditioned perception based upon reading it within the current > nature of this community. You EXPECT disruption. Whatever the case, it should go away. Cheers, -g -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
