The source of funding for UFS within Sun is irrelevant; I was
referring here to the UFS Community Group that's part of OpenSolaris.
This Community Group has a single "leader" (which should really be
called "web page editor") and has made no Core Contributor Grants
according to poll.opensolaris.org.  Therefore the Community Group
cannot possibly have voted (using lazy approval, consensus, or any
other method) to approve this project proposal.  And in fact it's
defunct according to the OpenSolaris Constitution.

I realise the UFS Community Group is contemplating merger with some
other Community Groups.  I don't want to get in the way of that, if
it's what everyone agrees should happen.  But this might be a good
time to get together and agree on at least 3 Core Contributors who can
make decisions for this Community Group going forward - including the
one to dissolve, if that's what you want to do.  If you would like
your Community Group to be recognised as active again, and able to
sponsor projects, please mail the OGB with a lists of the Contributors
and Core Contributors once you've worked out amongst yourselves who
those should be.

Right, please have the project team work this out with the other
Community Group(s) they would like sponsorship from.  The OGB should
not be involved in sorting this out.
