There really isn't a need to vote on the matter.
Are you - as a Member of the ASF - saying that the policies and procedures established by a PMC at the direction of the Board can be disregarded? One must be careful as one could easily reach an alternative conclusion that an Officer of Foundation is being setup as the bunny by a Member of Board with a well established political agenda as means to divert responsibility from the Board of Directors. Given the potential conclusions that one could reached - do you think that it would be acceptable for the Board of Directors of the Apache Software Foundation to accept what now appear to be incorrect and potentially misleading statements by a Chair of a Project Management Committee? I would like to bring you back to my original question concerning the capacity in which Aaron is acting. I have requested confirmation of his claims concerning a PMC decision or order to understand if Aaron is acting in the role of representing the PMC or if Aaron is acting unilaterally in his capacity as an Officer of the Foundation. Stefano has confirmed that there has been no PMC decision - in fact no vote if I understand correctly - as such, Aaron appears to acting in his capacity of Officer of the Foundation and as consequence the decision and responsibility concerning the closure of the Avalon PMC clearly rests with the Board of Directors. Cheers, Stephen. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
