Do we need a PPMC member directly administrating forums and wikis? Do we need the PPMC to provide a generally "Lazy Consensus" approval of committers and other contributors filling roles within the Forum or Wiki administration? Should the PPMC require certain parts of the community to report status periodically? > >From a purely ASF point of view there are very few things that require PMC oversight. the following are the only ones that jump to mind: - release votes (which equates to IP due diligence) - new committers/PMC members The project may define a few other areas, but that's up to the project.
