The underlying requirement is an open, inclusive, long-term community. “Diverse" is a way to demonstrate that inclusivity. Growing a community is a way to show long term health. 3 of the 4 proposed PMC members have been around the ASF for over a decade. I doubt they're going away :-P And while Chris may not have that duration, I think we're stuck with him for a long time, too :-) The Incubator is a mechanism for showing and growing a community, but it is not a requirement for that. Any group of ASF Members showing up with a TLP resolution would have my vote. They would have my confidence that they understand the ASF and how a community should be organized. Cheers, -g
