<SNIP/> >Because the PMC would consist of those doing the active management >(i.e. the active, interested committers) , we have things covered. All active committers should be "interested" or else they wouldn't be active committers. Oversight is not some "otherwordly" task to be conducted by an elite subset of our committers. IP oversight is something *every* decision-maker should be thinking about *every* time they commit a line of code. Consensus oversight is something *every* decision-maker should be thinking about *every* time they post to the DEV list. If committers aren't thinking about this now, it's only because they have no reporting requirements to remind them. Our community has already decided who its decision-makers should be: the committers. The Jakarta PMC doesn't need to second-guess the Jakarta community. We simply need to ratify the choices the community, in its wisdom, has already made. Moving forward, we may want to distinguish between "newbie" committers and the "silver-haired" PMC members. But, as it stands, when each of these committers were selected, they were selected to be *the* decision-makers. They were selected to do what the PMC does: actively manage the codebase. We should trust the judgment of our community, let each committer decide for themselves, and then Jakarta be whatever Jakarta wants to be. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
