The stated [DISCUSS] expiration of midnight, today, 2011-10-17T24:00Z has arrived.
The discussion has quieted and there appears to be no objection to conducting a [VOTE] ratifying the PPMC acceptance of the proposal, with the modest adjustments that were made. On a different thread, it was observed that, since there is no further discussion, and there was no opposition, the proposal should be considered ratified, a sort of lazy consensus: <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-ooo-dev/201110.mbox/%3cCAP-ksogkFzGgLB0ALY=vjap7q3d2pefucc-v1m3+rpoxuo7...@mail.gmail.com%3e>. I want to be clear, that this [DISCUSS] was not for voting but to review the proposal in preparation for voting. Although it might be assumed that there is no objection to the proposal's adoption by the PPMC, that was not the question. I am also concerned that the OpenOffice.org Forum operators are being denied an important ceremonial act on our part. Since it would take as long to introduce a lazy consensus, now, as to actually conduct the [VOTE], I intend to go ahead with the [VOTE] once I come up with an appropriate wording and message. Then it will all be clear, won't it? - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Christian Grobmeier [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2011 00:09 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Review of OpenOffice.org Forums Agreement 2011/10/13 Jürgen Schmidt <[email protected]>: > On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 8:55 PM, Dennis E.
