And why didn't we pick a press liaison on the ooo-private list? Yes, it does seem inconsistent. One way to think of it is this: When we vote on a new committer, we want a private discussions so we can speak honestly and frankly about the person's contributions and how they work with the others on the project. We can speak openly (on ooo-private) because we know that they cannot read what we are saying. But when we appoint an existing PPMC members to another role, whether press liaison, or ooo-security, there is no place to have the discussion where they cannot view it, since they subscribe to ooo-private as well. That said, I could go either way on this question. But current practice appears inconsistent. -Rob >
