Hi, Following up on the community diversity discussions of last December [1], I propose disclosing the company affiliations of podling committers and mentors more systematically, at the start and end of the incubation process.
If we agree, I'll start two votes on the following additions to our policy documents: one vote for 1) and 2) together, and a separate vote on 3): 1) http://incubator.apache.org/guides/proposal.html#template-affiliations Replace the last paragraph "Only the affiliations...bootstrap has been completed" with this: *** As a general rule, podling committers and mentors are requested to disclose their company affiliations in the proposal. If someone's involvement in the project is independent of their company affiliations, they are welcome to mention it. Providing this information is not mandatory, but it helps in evaluating the proposal in terms of community diversity. *** 2) http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#ipmc-top-level-recommendation After the existing paragraph of "The Recommendation Vote", add this: *** The vote request sent to the IPMC includes the list of company affiliations of the graduating podling committers. The contents of this list are subject to the same rules as the list of affiliations used in the incubation proposal. *** 3) Podling reports to the board I suggest asking for a "community diversity" paragraph in each report, where the podling indicates where it stands with respect to establishing a sufficiently diverse community to meet the graduation requirements. I think this reflects our discussions at [1], but let me know if I forgot something! -Bertrand [1] http://markmail.org/message/xy57ghwdezq4w4pi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
