I'm one of the "1) Inactive PMC members : 39" For historical reasons I made it onto this PMC just as the project I was really involved with (James) got promoted to TLP. I hung around to try to help make sure that Jakarta didn't die as a result of all the reorganisation, and wasn't killed off because we failed to provide adequate oversight while we carried out the controlled expansion of the PMC. On the one hand I think it may be time for me to move on, on the other hand I think that Jakarta PMC might benefit from the continuity provided by letting the interest of me and the others like me fade away as Jakarta continues to evolve. Whatever I think, I would happily relinquish my PMC vote if the active PMC members think it would help in any way.
Personally, I think that as long as we don't have to have any form of quorom, and as long as the inactive PMC member is on the mailing list (which really means they're not completely inactive), then it's not a problem.
We do need quorom on one issue: "The Chairman or any member may be removed from the PMC by a 3/4 vote of the PMC."
Of course, we only have 60% active right now, so presuming only committers to the current Jakarta voted, that line of the charter would be impossible.
Not a biggy I think, I think the chair can sidestep the charter if the community allowed it and removing the chair is more about the PMC sending a vote of no confidence to the board regardless of %, the board's interpretation of that vote would be subjective.
ie) I doubt a chair could be removed for doing what the board said had to be done. 75% or no 75%. :)
It's one of the places where Jakarta modelled itself on the ASF, but isn't the same as the ASF.
-=-=-=-= Mostly I'm worried about: PMC members who are not on pmc@ (there's a handful) PMC members who are not on general@ (never looked. I will soon) Inactive committers who are not on the PMC (200+) Hen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
