Thank you for your helpful comments. I have made the changes you suggested except for #2, where I need some more clarification.
- According to whimsy <https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/ppmc/datasketches> we have 12 committers and 12 PPMC members (5 of those are Mentors). - It is my understanding from reading the PPMC guide <https://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html> and the Roles <http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#roles> the PPMC members are "elected from a collection of developers / (contributors) or committers". - "It should be a goal of a podling to have all committers participate in the PPMC." - The PPMC is the Incubator analog to the eventual PMC. And a PMC member has "write access to the code repos". - Therefore a PMC/PPMC member has a superset of rights and responsibilities compared to a committer. - Therefore, from the above PPMC/PMC and Roles guidelines, adding a PPMC member would be equivalent to adding a committer during incubation, although formal promotion to PPMC could be later. It is our priority right now to add more committers, especially from a diverse set of organizations, and these committers would eventually also become PPMC members, but that is a second step. How do you envision our adding PPMC members that don't start out as committers first? It is not clear to me why "Adding more PPMC members" (separate from adding committers) right now would be a priority. Your help with this would be appreciated! Thanks, Lee.
