I have spent most of the evening reading mails pre-Avalon TLP and especially the period around the TLP was formed, and I must agree the Scott. It was infected way back. > I would 'commend and applaud' your acceptance that there is an equal and > opposite viewpoint to yours on this issue. That has been identified and is acknowledged. I am now asking the question that there is a disparity between the way Greg explains how it works and the way projects operates. I have for instance brought up the PMC ByLaws issue, which doesn't exist but many projects have. > I also believe that the > multiple opinions out there cannot be reconciled.

I have dropped "Avalon" out of the picture, that is history. I learned that being a member of the PMC is not necessarily what you think it is. Why not make the roles clear? Why not make sure that PMCs who has ByLaws, take those down and replace with "Operational Procedures and Practices", which accurately describes the chain of command that *are* in place at project level, but barely mentioned anywhere? Why not make sure that no more TLPs are created with a boiler text, speaking of these project bylaws? If everyone thinks this is at all not necessary, then fine do nothing about it, let the descrepancy continue to exist, and I'll predict similar problems sooner, rather than later, in the future.
