I understood that: - the ASF legal entity is there to protect ASF _members_ - PMC member != ASF member. Eg, we're both Avalon PMC members, but if someone were to sue us, that would not benefit us. Thus, forming PMCs and flattening the structure in no way lessens the legal risk taken by non-member committers (the vast majority). If I'm wrong on this important point, please correct me. That still leaves the question: in what way is the current XML PMC failing in its duties. I can see that the Jakarta PMC might have missed stuff happening in the depths of Commons and Avalon, but xml.apache.org is a much quieter place. <snip good quotes> --Jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
