Many reasons: Because it is the job of the "chair". Because i agree with the ASF that it should be this way. Because i can see that otherwise an impasse could be reached. Because the board cannot deal with a whole committee. There are many other reasons in those documents referred to earlier. Some major reasons are listed here: http://www.apache.org/foundation/faq.html#why-are-PMC-chairs-officers If you have issues with the defined job, then please take it up with the ASF membership. -David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
