Up until a few days ago I thought we had one. Move the forums over to the ASF, give the PPMC and ASF members the full ability (upon request) to oversee allcommunications within the forums, and life goeson. I see no need for the Volunteers to join the PPMC or anything like that, just keep doing whatever you're doing and keep the PPMC abreast of anything report-worthy when they need to report to the board. If the Volunteers want to incorporate some Apache-style voting processes into their ops, go for it!
