We all want to avoid Vetos, for many good reasons, but that it not the same as not being allowed. As a Foundation we try to have very few rules and policies, and let the communities handle how they want to do it, this here is surely a case where we do not a foundation wide rule. I would have no problem, if the wording on the page was something like "it is recommended not to use Veto" Pierre@ maybe just for my understanding, why would ASF be better, if we make this rule foundation wide, instead of leaving it up to the single community ? rgds jan I. > Best regards, > > > Pierre Smits > > *ORRTIZ.COM <http://www.orrtiz.com>* > Services & Solutions for Cloud- > Based Manufacturing, Professional > Services and Retail & Trade > http://www.orrtiz.com > > On Sun, Mar 22, 2015 at 3:17 PM, Jacques Le Roux < > jacques.le.r...@les7arts.com> wrote: > > > Le 22/03/2015 14:42, jan i a écrit : > > > >> On 22 March 2015 at 14:35, Pierre Smits <pierre.sm...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> > >> HI Bertrand, > >>> > >>> Thanks for the clarification regarding > >>> http://community.apache.org/newcommitter.html > >>> > >>> Shouldn't http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html then also > >>> explicitly > >>> reflect that vetoes aren't allowed when it comes to on- and ofboarding > >>> contributors as committer and PMC member?
