I agree with Dennis' comments and suggest that we not use the list for nominations (top ten list) but rather for notice of a live list at a wiki that can be made more transparent. The point is that the list via email becomes sedimented, so that the most recent agreements stay surface, the logic buried, and this sedimentation eliminates the real nature of the PMC dynamic. louis > > - Dennis > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Rist [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2012 16:00 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] [PMC] Proposed PMC List > > (top posting after private messages - I cannot describe the shame I > feel... ;-) > > I have an option that I believe will handle Andrea's concerns.
