Corrected grammar/logic in the proposal: PROPOSAL: No one is established as a PPMC member unless they have an invitation to the PPMC and they are subscribed to ooo-priv...@incubator.apache.org. No one not established as a PPMC member before a vote commences (on ooo-private or on ooo-dev) is counted as casting a binding PPMC-member vote on that ballot.
I am not adding consideration of how PPMC-member invitations can expire. I see that as an independent consideration. It is not necessary to be address in the proposed approach. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Rob Weir [mailto:robw...@apache.org] < http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-ooo-dev/201110.mbox/%3cCAP-ksohe6PTvJwjefJZ=rwwsr7ys1dkwcrsrnzxixv0mj-b...@mail.gmail.com%3e> Sent: Saturday, October 15, 2011 11:52 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] When Is a PPMC Invitee a PPMC Member?

[ ... ] So rather than thinking of this as a binding versus non-binding vote thing, maybe just say that if someone is invited to joint the PPMC, but they have not subscribed too ooo-private within some period of time (3 months?) then their invitation is rescinded. If they decide to get active again, they can always be renominated. That approach would takes care of the voting side of things as well. -Rob [ ... ]
