What is not true? The LDAP committee group is definitely used for determining karma. It is used for granting access to the PMC-private area of SVN and by default to give write access to the dist/release areas. And PMC membership is defined by the committee-info.txt file. > There are two LDAP groups per > TLP/PMC. ou=groups,cn=httpd and ou=pmc,ou=groups,cn=httpd - there > are even groups that do no represent a TLP/PMC in the same OU.

As I recall, the PMC groups were created to grant access to the PMC-private areas of SVN, not to define the PMC membership. At the time, the definitive record of PMC membership was the board reports and ACK mails on the board list. > You should never a group either defines, or does not define access > control. Cannot parse that last sentence.
