+1 on change or removal It is perhaps more useful to follow the thread view of the conversation that resumed today on the legal-discuss mailing list, <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/201502.mbox/thread>. Some suggestions have been voiced there too.
Anyone can also follow that list via the web archive or subscribing. It is all available to the public. Observers might also be interested in knowing who the participants on that thread happen to be in addition to those whose voices are known on this dev@ list. This <http://apache.org/foundation/> may be helpful in terms of the Board composition and the Corporate Officers (listed before all of the PMC chairs). I have already made my views known on this topic and I will not repeat them. I do suggest that the continuing effort to rationalize that page and to consider it a compendium of essential facts that AOO and even ASF has some duty to present is a case of "fighting way above our own weight" and it would be very good to stop twisting the wound and remove that thorn in some suitable manner. Officials of the ASF have made it clear that this page does not reflect views of the ASF and that its posture is objectionable. For those expressing pique over it being a topic on legal-discuss at all, I am mindful that AOO exists at the pleasure of the ASF, not the reverse, and that alignment of projects with how the ASF sees its public-interest duty to be fulfilled is a very big deal, AOO-exceptionalism notwithstanding. This project is accountable, via its PMC and through its Chair, for demonstrating and preserving that alignment. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Simon Phipps [mailto:si...@webmink.com] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2015 08:39 To: dev Subject: Re: Proposal to change or remove a web page that seems to cause unfruitful discussions.

I note that on legal-discuss Jim [called the page][1] "misrepresentation" - maybe he has comments on what the project should do here? S.
