Any culling of the PPMC should, IMHO as a mentor, be done in the same way we would for any other project. That is those who have not participated in the community will not form a part of the PMC. It is possible that we will start this process a little early with the AOO project since it is so large. However, at least for me, the idea of doing this before the project has a release to work on seems strange. I am strongly -1 against doing it because of a misunderstanding about why some people feel excluded from the handling of this security issue. As Rob puts it... > This is not about > trust.

I've said many times both here and on AOO lists - nobody was explicitly *excluded* because of a lack of trust. Some people were explicitly *included* because their input was needed. I've enumerated that list of participants in this very thread as well as in others elsewhere. I invite the IPMC to consider whether we excluded the board members who are also AOO mentors because we didn't trust them? Of course not and the same goes for everyone else who we chose not to include. I will note that I, as a mentor, felt safe in the knowledge that those not included in my communications about this issue were cable of exercising their right to monitor the ooo-security list or the legal-internal list. If they were monitoring either list then they knew about our actions.My understanding is that Dave, as a mentor and representative of the IPMC, has chosen not to monitor those lists and therefore feels excluded . I would argue that there is a world of difference between those "in the know" choosing who in the IPMC and the broader ASF to explicitly include (which is what we did) compared to choosing who to exclude (which we did not do). I will note that the same argument cannot be made for PPMC members who feel excluded. It is good to note that Rob has, presumably as a result of this thread, proposed a few new members of the ooo-security list. Any PPMC member feeling they are left out should ask for consideration on the ooo lists, this is not a matter for the IPMC to resolve.
