-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Ok, I've re-read this, and I think it's a smaller question than I thought.
I did not intend to call into question the funding plans that have been made for the OpenAFS foundation, to the degree I understand them. I probably expressed myself badly. What I was trying to say, simply, was that I'd suggest that the number of seats on the TAC needs to fit the available community personnel too, not solely the number of corporate contributors, especially if, hypothetically, there were an insufficient number of such corporate sponsors at the beginning, or from time to time. I'm happy to have those sponsors there, and supportive of it.
