Yup.

I think that I just heard a nomination for Brane to be PMC chair :-P Seriously, though... this isn't much of a rule. Most VPs are not ASF Members. I look at them more as "liaisons", and the parameters/needs of that role are fairly easy to learn. So in that sense, any of the existing PPMC members can be a candidate. >> A quick look at the guidelines do not suggest that anything in >> particular needs to be restricted to the private list but I will be >> happy to accept advice on that. > > I see no reason to keep anything private, except for the actual > invitations to the PMC, which I believe should remain private (i.e., on > the private list) (Greg, I'd appreciate your insight on that topic). I don't see anything that needs to be private right now. (post-graduation: yeah, "people discussions" ought to remain private; e.g. committer/PMC invitations) We can take all current BH committers and put them onto the PMC roster. Individuals can remove themselves. If somebody has a desire to be the Chair, then I would recommend they self-nominate. If we get more than one, then we discuss that on -private. Cheers, -g
