+1 to items 1,2,3,5,6 below (binding, PMC member). Yay Xalan! -1 to item 4 below. I would be very uncomfortable with only 2 people on a PMC; in my mind, an absolute minimum would be 5 existing and reasonably active committers. Also, I doubt the board will accept a PMC that small.
Work with Santiago and suggest a larger list. Obviously ask people if they want to serve before sending the list out, but it's really not that much work. And remember that committers can change code, but only the PMC can officially set project direction, procedures, releases, etc. And don't be held back by the existing xml.apache.org charter - I don't think it describes things nearly as well as it should. Please do re-write Xalan's charter as needed! (Procedural notes: I think this vote should be to get the XML PMC to agree to the change. My -1 on 4 will automatically change to a +1 once you have at least 5 suitable names for that item. Then we'll need a volunteer to actually draft a resolution performing the change to submit to the board for their next monthly meeting, where it can be voted in officially.) --- Brian Minchau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm formally calling for a vote on this proposition which is to > transform > Xalan from a sub-project of the Apache top-level XML project into a > top-level Apache project of its own. > > 1.
