Funny; the line I wrote above was written based on discussions I've had with others about CoCs. Most I have read encourage that you respect that others have done something in good faith before assuming otherwise. I feel that's missing with this thread. > Reacting isn't always the best approach, and often folks want to > be more prepared for a situation which is indicative of a potential problem. > Still, I don't think this is a big enough issue that I'd pursue any kind of > preventative action against one or both of these fantastic people being > elected. People are quickly jumping on the bandwagon of "potential conflict of interest" in this case, *without detailing what those potential problems could be*. All I'm hearing is, "They're in a relationship! Conflict of interest!" Nothing about what conflict is being predicted. Do we have anything *demonstrable* as a potential conflict of interest, or is it just a *feeling* that there's one? Without something concrete for us to discuss, the thread feels hugely nonconstructive, and disrespectful to those nominated. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [email protected] https://mwop.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PHP Framework Interoperability Group" group.
