Hi My Apache journey started at Incubator, and as IPMC now(not asf member). I noticed this requirement too.
>From the members I known personally, most indeed know Apache way very well. And truely there is exception. Basically, I think removing this makes sense. 1. if this member has been incubator journey, such as being initial committer of a podling, it is easy to know and should have taken part in incubator ml much. 2. there are indeed asf members elected by other reasons, so, they are not familiar w/ incubator, and need more time to learn too. Apache has so many TLPs and ways to take part in, a member is not required used to be incubator. My +1 on IPMC should have enough incubator experiences. Also, very open to know the history reason of this. Sheng Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com>于2019年8月9日 周五下午1:04写道： > Hi, > > Current any ASF member can come along and ask to join the IPMC.
