Leo:

There are a couple of points here:

1. The reason that we are discussing revision to the
PMC Voting procedures was initiated because the
current procedures are considered by some as
difficult to read - the subject of this message
concerns a structural change to what is already
adopted. I would prefer that we do not modify
the procedures in this way. If Berin wants see
the potential introduction of a change to the
procedures such that committer votes are
recognized then he should be proposing this a
seperate topic, potentially leading to a vote on
that topic.

The thing is that I have not changed anything that was
in my mind from when we ratified the more legalese version.
So, in effect we have uncovered a flaw in the more formal
version--we agreed on something we did not mean to agree
on because it was too difficult to dicern from the text.

Generalizing your opinion on this to everyone here at Avalon
who voted is a little missleading. I also think it is a little
off the mark - from the current procedures:

(c) Voting Conventions

Voting on matters placed before the PMC shall be restricted to the members of the PMC.

I.e. conclusion - drop the notion of committer votes (in other
words lets keep this thread about enhancing usibility of the
currently adopted procedures), and leave it to Berin to propose
a well prepared revision in the future (if he feels it is
necessary).

That will happen only if I see a disproportionate amound of traffic
on avalon-pmc vs. avalon-dev. IOW, as long as we keep everyone
in the loop I am ok. We don't need to make it a formal requirement,
at least not at this stage.

Tottaly agreee.

Cheers, Steve.
