The charter verbiage (2nd paragraph above) definitely looks like it could cause trouble. If there is more than one Apache Board member on the PMC, do they become co-chairs of the PMC? I doubt that was the intent. As Berin's point 2 above suggests, the charter should be clear about which board membership has to occur first, if a candidate is not on either board. A separate case is when a person already on the Apache Board wants to join the PMC, particularly if there is already an Apache Board member on the PMC. Stated another way: A. The PMC must have a Chair (always just one?) B. The Chair must either already be a member of the Apache Board or become one (is that before or after becoming Chair?) C. Other Apache Board members may sit on the PMC D. When the Apache Board requires a report from the PMC, they will ask the PMC Chair to provide it. (Any need to specify how the Apache Board directs the PMC?) I think the current verbiage is trying to address too many facets of the Chair/Board/PMC relationship in one sentence. .................David Marston --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
