If we want Avatica to be truly independent, then yes, it would have to be it's own TLP with a separate PMC. (Avatica could not otherwise make releases and follow other processes without going through the Calcite PMC.) I think there are several other TLPs with less activity than Avatica, so I don't think that's a major concern although we could take a roll call to see who on the current PMC would be willing join the Avatica PMC. -- Michael Mior [email protected]
