Today, the board reviews some 30 reports, one of which is many pages long. Under the proposed schema the board might review some 50 reports, each of which is several paragraphs long, and the net length of the monthly board report doesn't change at all. Even the two or three paragraphs of commentary usually offered by the VP would still be there, observing the comings and goings of general@ activity. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
