As the chair here, I start from the premise that I've been invited to serve as the chair of the incubator as we know it. I have some sympathy for Chris M's views, but the job I have here is, first and foremost, to facilitate making the existing thing work. So I expect to be one of the last people t

Personally, I would find IPMC issues much easier to follow if we all limited threads to more specific topics, and started new threads for new specific topics. This one is still pretty buried. On 3/29/2013 1:11 PM, Ross Gardler wrote: ... I don't accept that using yourself as an example of how

I don't suppose that I could convince folks to start a new thread for the topic, 'The Incubator is a FAIL', and leave this one to the patch for the decision process? On Fri, Mar 29, 2013 at 6:09 AM, Ross Gardler wrote: > We clearly differ with our view if how much is delegated from board to > IP

We clearly differ with our view if how much is delegated from board to IPMC. The amount of work the board does on x podlings weach month is less than the work they do on x TLPs. That is without the IPMC addressing issues that come up every now and again. We can go into detail if it becomes necessar
