IMO, the “noise” comes from the IPMC discussing new processes, roles, etc., when mentors fail to do their jobs. This proposal is essentially a re-boot with the hopes that bad mentors don’t make it into the new world order. What we really need is less rules, less trial bureaucracy mechanisms, less roles, and simple mechanisms to hold mentors accountable to the task that they signed up to perform.
