Sorry, should've said the vote would be: "I believe that the following PMC members should be removed from the PMC following an extended period of inactivity, this in no way reflects badly upon the high regard they, or their contributions, are held by this PMC. The votes will be tallied accorrding to lazy consensus, meaning any -1 will be a veto.

If you pick the right list then it can work with no votes at all being cast. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
