The only individuals empowered to act on the foundation's behalf are members of committees. With the exception of board committees which are empowered to form subcommittees, all such individuals must be ratified (either by resolution or our favorite ACK game) by the BoD. A vote by 3 PPMC members is therefore not binding, not unless the board is prepared to ack/nak all appointments to PPMC's within Incubator. Again, I still am not suggesting we want to take this one way or another. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
