Roman, I don't think much is missing. One of my concerns with all of these proposals, especially for participants like myself, is the difference in how the IPMC operates vs how these PMCs must operate. For someone like me, I wouldn't be able to help these pTLP's the way I can on the IPMC.
>From a document's standpoint, I'm concerned with heavy reliance on three existing Apache members. Specifically, if the pTLP gets into a situation where only 2 of its 3 members are active, they can't even add an additional member. While having three active participants is crucial (from the tone of the document), as soon as one of those three starts failing, they cannot ever recover without that 3rd person rejoining. This approach seems to favor cases where the pTLP is proposed and managed by an existing member. I can see this approach not helping foster external groups from joining the ASF, especially trying to find three members openly willing to help foster that community. I can think of a few members who have no interest in helping to mentor projects. So if the hope is to get these folks involved, I look forward to seeing the results.
