Well, not all have expired yet, and the remainder are only a few days over. And typically we've not enforced the letter of the law on expiry dates (it also seems a little harsh to do so given that we don't have a good mechanism in place yet to handle expiry - we clearly need to do better, and I see Jim has been looking at that as well). My own interpretation of the letter of the constitution (which should therefore not be taken as official OGB policy) is that should the number of Core Contributors fall below 3 then we follow section 7.12; one option would be for the OGB to appoint some new Core Contributors. We're going to get to that state anyway in September - if one of the remaining 3 were to resign beforehand then it triggers the process early. If the current and recently expired core contributors were to present us with the suggested list of Core Contributors for us to appoint then it would simplify matters. In other words, I suggest you vote on renewals and possibly new Core Contributors, and bring that list to the OGB. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
