No it isn't. First of all, the overseeing committee is NOT specific to incubation projects it can (and should!) be applied to all the project that board review reports for. Second of all, the comittee is a much more realistic extension of the board in that it, upfront, declares total absence of 'collective' responsibility. You don't approach the committee with the expectaions that it has collective responsibility to find volunteers that 'help projects'. The committee members have no other business but telling PMC of the pTLP (and hopefully TLPs at some point) that something is broken. That's it. This is very different from the charter that the IPMC has. > Who gets to be on the new overseeing committee? Not current IPMC membership > right? Correct. > So is that a revocation of privilege in some respects? I don't think so. In a way, it is a promotion. All the *active* members (AKA mentors) get promoted to PMCs of pTLPs. A few IPMC members get promoted to the membership on the committee.
