Aaron:
Just for the record - before I or anyone else proceeds with the process
of raising the addressing the following subject areas - do you have any
other topics that in you opinion should be addressed beforehand?
1. concerns related to the breakup of Avalon and how this would impact
users here at apache and outside
2. concerns related to the historical patterns of conflict-centered
processes and in particular - the potential for that process model
to be carried over within future endeavors
3. concerns that the separation is driven by an inability of people
to get along together
In particular - do the above topics reasonably address the concerns
raised by the member of the board of directors?
