The near-ad-hominem tone of this thread has extracted a reply in my own defense. It is a misunderstanding, verging on willful, to claim that the V2 proposal is primarily intended to remove either inactive or noisy persons from the group. it is a fabrication that there is any idea that some person other than the board might select an initial set of people to further some particular agenda. The idea here of the small group, extracted from something Ross wrote on the Wiki in 2013, is that an incubator committee doesn't need to be big and it doesn't need to grow via merit, if its only job is to accept the board's delegation of a limited set of supervisory tasks. If you make a smaller group, it might still contain vigorous disagreement, but on a scale where they can manageably reach consensus. It would think less of the board if they failed to select people likely to have some significant disagreements. > > -Bertrand > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
