Hi Alan, Regarding your question on Number of proposed PMCs, I am not sure how this is proposed. In resolution I counted only the number of PMC members which is 10 people. I got those numbers from Ranger Team members list http://ranger.incubator.apache.org/team-list.html. Should this be the number of members in the Ranger Apache poling from Apache Phonebook?
Regarding chair affiliation I shall correct that in my Ranger project summary for graduation. Since there is no chair for the Ranger PMC, I need input from Mentors on how this proposal process is done. Regarding requesting Ranger Mentors to be part of PMC, let me send out a separate email and address this. Thanks for your detailed input.
