By my reading, here is the list of those willing to participate in a Plone 4 framework team: Raphael R. Ross P. Matthew W. David G. Calvin H.P. Alec M. Erik R, Laurence R. That's eight names, and an excellent set of skills for a release that's not likely to emphasize UI work. If you'd like your name added, or removed, please put in a message soon. Ideally, a framework team should have an odd number of members in order to avoid tie votes. However, in watching the last couple of voting sessions for Plone 3, I noticed that there were not that many PLIPS on which every person voted. So, I think the 'odd number' rule of thumb isn't really that important. The first matter of business for a new Framework Team is to nominate a Release Manager to the board. My impression is that Eric Steele has been accepted by acclamation. If anyone would like to have a private framework team discussion on that, please let me know in an e-mail, and we'll get a list organized to allow non-public discussion. Thanks all!

Since most groups define majority approval as greater than half, a split vote means it fails. The problem arises when a proposal can be legitimately worded in either the affirmative or the negative. So in the case of a split vote, the same proposed action can either pass or fall just by stating it in a different form. In the case of PLIPs, there seems to be an unofficial rule that they are always worded in the affirmative as a proposal to change the status quo. As long as that rule is enforced and these are the only votes ever solicited then an 'odd number' rule is probably superfluous. parliamentary pedantry mode off Ric Any guesses on how I wasted my college years? ;-) ___ Framework-Team mailing list Framework-Team@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/framework-team

Re: [Framework-Team] Re: Plone 2009: Going from here
Let me ask what the level of enthusiasm is in the current P3 framework team. If they'd shift to become the new Plone 2009 team and the existing p4 team would become the trunk team, that might be good. We could recruit to add to the new Plone 2009 (old P3) team if some folks are burned out. IMHO, three different framework teams is not organizationally supportable. We'd drown in confusion.
