What is your intent here Joerg? Are you appealing this to the OGB? or just vocalising your disagreement? (It's not clear to me from your above email what your desire is) It's not clear to me how the Community Group appeal's process interacts with the PSARC appeals process (which from what I can tell seems to be a Sun internal process). If you're appealing formally, then I'll ask if this is really a governance issue. I understand you disagree with PSARC's resolution, but it's not clear to me that the OGB can or should have anything to do here. I can't speak for the other board members, but I know I certainly don't have enough experience or desire to go about overriding the exact sort of decision PSARC has been chartered and tasked to make. If you're just vocalising your disagreement, then I'll kindly request you drop ogb-discuss from the CC list. cheers, steve -- stephen lau // stevel at sun.com | 650.786.0845 | http://whacked.net opensolaris // solaris kernel development
