John, thanks for the time and input. My replies are inline.

An SGA will be provided as well as an ICLA from contributors. Sheng will bring this up with the community and seek confirmation from all the committors there, including that he shall be the representative of the 'OpenSkywalking Organization' to sign the SGA. > > This project started in Open Source on GitHub about more than 2 years > > ago.

That companies have been behind *individuals* is information provided separately in the "Affiliations" section.

The PMC section is removed. And all names in english, with the name in chinese following.

This was in private chat and a zoom video call between Sheng and myself. So it's not a documented event.

Is that what you are trying to convey here? Correct. These were intended as PPMC, not IPMC. The two separate lists here have been replaced with just the one "committor" list. > I'm not sure why there are names with @ in front. Are these proposed ASF > usernames? No. They were github usernames. They've been replaced with email addresses. regards, Mick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
