So, we are trying to delegate power to subprojects? Er, but we can't now can we. So who can vote? 'Following the list' is a very vague term. Presumably I can simply subscribe to struts-dev and then vote, never having even used struts? It also seems highly dubious to say that a vote is legal and binding if most of the PMC never knew the vote occurred. > Under proposition (1), the significant events occurring for each > subproject would be reported to the PMC list, for the review of the PMC > at-large. So the PMC is reviewing events already happened, not actively managing. Er, sounds like the relationship between the board and a PMC to me. > PMC membership is voluntary.

And thats because it changes nothing of significance.
