I wouldn't worry too much about this. We review the reports during the board meetings. I think we have plenty of time and opportunity to handle more reports. But it does mean that I'm going to be much more firm on the PMCs getting reports in with sufficient time *before* the meeting, so the directors have time to review the reports before the meeting. >... > So the feeling I got from Dirk's e-mail is that > the board does not want to see us fragment into > multiple TLPs that the board has to manage, as > then we simply push the problem to them. The Board *would* prefer to see more TLPs rather than complicated structures under one large PMC. The problem here is based on one PMC trying to oversee way too many projects. Partitioning should help.
