Hi Justin, Thanks for the clarification on what affiliation means in this context. One follow-up question is that in the policy, it mentions that "the Apache Press Team MUST review any releases by affiliated organizations or groups ..." whereas you mentioned that the review is done by the PPMC. Does it mean that the PPMC is acting in the capacity of the press team? Otherwise, if the requirement is indeed to reach out to press@, I wonder how people deal with confidentiality. Of course, this would be easier if the requirement is to have PR reviewed by the PPMC members who are employed by the affiliated group.
