Opinions were asked for. I gave mine. I have tried to do it before and been squashed repeatedly because my opinion is not broadly supported. I should not have said board must as it has been brought here recently and did not find support.
I don't a agree that the proposal for the IPMC to be facilitators rather than gatekeepers is a suggestion. It's what the IPMC was set up to be. It's not what it is, but it's what it was intended to be (and was for quite some time). Your are right to call me or on do it or get out, if I choose to champion or mentor another project here I will do it within that project. That is, as a mentor /champion I will ensure the project did not need the IPMC to vote and this this whole discussion would not be necessary, for that project. My actions will match my recommendations.

That was a suggestion and not a statement about how the incubator currently operates. If you want to change the way the incubator currently operates, please put it up for discussion. Preferably on a public list. B.) While the person you're replying to can see Roy's suggestion, not everyone on this list can. Not even all of the IPMC members can in fact. If you want to make a suggestion to the way we work in the incubator, please include both the suggested change AND the arguments where they can be seen by the IPMC. Who the idea or the arguments are originally from isn't directly relevant to the merits of the proposal, but in general I wouldn't appeal to Roy's authority here, since he hasn't, to my knowledge, given permission to put his words in public.
