The PMC Chair has "ultimate" authority, since the position is board appointed and results in the Chair being a VP of the ASF. There's no precedent for "sharing" the role or having a "co-Chair." The PMC Chair is the point man for the PMC.
The PMC Chair is nominated by the PMC, and the recommendation is sent in with the PMC resolution. The board then debates the issue and will usually approve the resolution and appoint the nominated person as chair. Since the PMC Chair is the main guy for the PMC, it is even more an issue for that person to be very much an ASF weenie and understand and embrace the Apache Way... It can be a "political" and "managerial" kind of position and any candidate should realize that sad fact :/ -- =========================================================================== Jim Jagielski [|] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [|] http://www.jaguNET.com/ "There 10 types of people: those who read binary and everyone else." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
