If we come over to Apache Commons PMC, we have to share control with people who are not part of the community [from our current mindset]. There could also be a fear that we'll be lead by a small elite of non-J-C members in how a PMC works. > The whole point is to *legally* and *ethically* return control to the > committers by having them on the PMC - not to have the power vested in some > remote bureaucratic entity like it is in Jakarta. -- justin Which is being solved. If the issue is legal, then the board should be telling J-C it must move to A-C, not offering a legal/ethical solution for them to move to. Does 'legal' allow for greyness? ie) Jakarta is less-legal, but still legal? Hen
