Martin,
I am quite certain that "Apache ServiceMix" in the resolution should read
"Apache C++ Standard Library."
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Martin Sebor be
appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache ServiceMix,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
to serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of
the Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until
death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification,
or until a successor is appointed; and be it further
-- Mark
