I also think that PTLs and other respected leaders of this community can affect a TC decision without necessarily formally voting at the end of the discussion. They have a lot of influence, and they can use it by giving their strong position on a subject -- the meetings are open to all and I expect PTLs to show up when something that directly affects them is discussed. Whether their influence also counts as a formal vote in the final TC tally is a bit of a separate question... which I'd rather let the foundation technical members decide. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) Release Manager, OpenStack _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack-poc Post to : openstack-poc@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack-poc More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
