Re: [DISCUSS] Would you like to be the new chair of AOO ?
Hi. Today is end of nominations, we have received 1 nomination and Dennis has accepted the nomination. I do not see a need for a further discussion period, since the last entry on this thread was 13 days ago (not counting the private mails I have received). I will start the VOTE Thread shortly. rgds jan I.

Hi Dennis I have absolutely no problem with your changes as long as September 5th remain unchanged. however as we both know, the opinion thst I should follow the idea of a single persone have been raised quite direct in private, do could you please endure PMC consensus to the proposal. With consensus I willchabfe it imidiatly. rgds jan i On Thursday, July 30, 2015, Dennis E. Hamilton orc...@apache.org wrote: This is not a nomination statement.

For me, your continued participation on the PMC, at whatever level you choose, will be welcome. PROPOSAL Two things, 1. If there is only one nominee at the end of discussion, I suggest that a (5-day or 7-day) lazy consensus period, not a [VOTE], be conducted for that candidate. This allows discussion on the specific candidate, including response to any objections, and the achievement of consensus without the awful situation that Louis Suarez-Potts endured in the previous determination of a Chair recommendation. 2. I think candidates should be current PMC members (although that could simply be a matter of stated qualifications in the process we are starting now). I base that on neither of the previous candidates being current PMC members. I found, for myself, on joining the PMC after the previous election, that I was definitely missing background and understanding of the status of the PMC and issues it was being faced with.
