I note that the minutes don't record any discussion of the community input to date on the formation of the new OpenJDK Board or of the Bylaws draft, not even to the extent of a comment indicating that the most recent draft (which I have not seen as only Draft 7 is available on the web at the time of writing) addresses all issues.
(This was the first meeting for which we have recorded minutes, because we decided to operate meetings as if the Draft 8 Bylaws were in effect.)
Is there a reason for this please?
Three different things are being held up awaiting Oracle Legal Review: * The new (and possibly final) Bylaws draft * A response by us (the GB) to feedback on V7 * Revisions to the Contributor Agreement. We (instigated by me) decided that we can't keep producing documents and making follow-on decisions until at least the bylaws draft is cleared for final community review and ratification. I don't know of a better plan. Once these documents are cleared, we shouldn't be dependent on Oracle Legal review, but the minutes at least show why everything is running about 4 months behind initial estimates. -Doug
