I did a quick read of the ASF bylaws. The PMC chairman role is an appointment from the board of directors, so I assume that what we are doing is only making a recommendation to the board of directors by our vote.
That is correct.
I also did not see anything that would prohibit Ceki from being reappointed. Did I miss something or do you not desire to continue as chairman?
There is no clause limiting the number of terms a chairperson can serve. However, imho change in leadership would be a good thing.
Also, it appears that the PMC chairman must be a ASF member. Is Scott an ASF member? Are there any other ASF members in the Logging PMC?
Scott is an ASF member, so are Mark, Yoav and Paul. However, ASF membership is *not* a formal requirement for the position.
Unless there is some reason that Ceki cannot or does not want to continue, I think he should at least be considered and would nominate Ceki Gulcu for consideration.
Curt, thank you for the vote of confidence. Just to be clear, I have no plans to reduce my level of involvement in LS. Since in a private conversation Scott indicated that he'd accept the position if he were elected, it would be rather dumb for me to nominate Scott only to run against him. Moreover, I am confident that Scott would be an excellent chairman.
