Clarify Role of Champion And Consolidate Policy
-----------------------------------------------
Key: INCUBATOR-33
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-33
Project: Incubator
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: policy
Reporter: Robert Burrell Donkin
Assigned To: Robert Burrell Donkin
The currently document is contradictory.
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Champion includes
a little discussion of the role and implies that only champions can be members.
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Champion
uses declarative language and allows members and champions. This isn't good and
needs resolving one way or another.
Elections championed by Officers have succeeded in the past and I see no reason
why Champions should not be officers though this may - or may not - prevent
then acting as mentors. So, this patch consolidates the documentation in that
direction. I'm willing to create a similar patch if the converse opinion is in
the majority.
