Community input is a *very* good thing when it comes to selecting a new Chair. The Chair can have a large impact on the community as a whole, so I believe it is important to get a feel for what people think. The PMC filters that down and sends a recommendation to the board, which then passes a resolution to put the new Chair into place. New committers and new PMC members are a different matter, which I feel is best handled via private email (as you (Henri) are aware from my Geronimo posts :-) Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
