A set of polices and procedures were established and these procedures governing the decision making processes within the Avalon PMC. These policies established rules concerning discussion, voting, and reporting. Unfortunately Aaron decided that he was above these rules, a notion supported by the Chairman and a number of the members of the board. There is absolute indisputable evidence of Aaron disregard for these procedures and the opinion of the PMC. Lets' not even argue about that. Instead I would suggest you think about the impact of these actions on the PMC members and the community. The breakdown in trust underpins the subject of this thread and every single person subscribed to this list is better off for knowing that. So instead of defending the ASF - how about thinking about strengthening what you have by at least listening and perhaps suggesting ways in which we can prevent this in the future. Stephen. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
