What the Constitution implies seems to be directly in conflict with the development process.
Taken by itself, the Constitution seems to make the ARC process irrelevant... Unless, the agreement within a Community produces the specification which they submit to the ARC process. I recall this to be the way the earlier documents had this (including a way to override the ARC). Something seems amiss. John (or whoever)... This seems to be something that the OGB needs to clarify. (I think the convoluted voting rules are pretty silly and I can easily construct timelines which result in approval having a quasar effect, but this isn't something I'm personally concerned about.) >> BTW 2: Please provide the list of "core contributors" and the rules to >> obtain that status. > > <http://poll.opensolaris.org/#tab2> > > I don't know how that is being managed. This is just an automated "voting machine". It seems to have nothing to do with how "citizenship" is determined or checked. Actually, section 7.8 of the Constitution has the "rules" for core contributor status (as I asked about). It seems that nobody has just bothered to bother to list the annointed ones for each community. Within a community, this is what I expected. This seems to be nothing more than a failure to act. > ....Roy > - jek3
