I'm open to additional ideas (or tweaking of existing ones) - but at the same time, I think the current situation is not sustainable - nor can I think about any other (large) Open Source project that employs anything similar. Today, any person can become a voter, with identical rights to long time, committed contributors - virtually overnight, with very little (or virtually no) commitment on their part. Open Source project governance tends to be a meritocracy - and even this proposal sets a fairly low bar to having the very same voting rights as Rasmus, me, Nikita or Dmitry. Again, I'm very open to ideas on how to improve on it, it's not an easy task to tackle. For the record, something like this *was* in fact the thinking behind the language in https://wiki.php.net/rfc/voting - but much like other parts of the RFC, it was poorly written, and in this case - even more poorly implemented. Also, why does FIG get special treatment? The list can (and probably should) be amended; The goal here is to bring in additional, non-source-contributors to the mix that are at the same time experienced PHP developers that can represent a large number of developers. PHP-FIG seemed to be a good fit for that bill, but there are probably others that should be added as well. Zeev
