Hm, you might be right on that. If we would have a smaller IPMC, with elected people, as we already discussed, would it help? Not sure in this case. But if one must earn "IPMC" membership as in every other project, it is probably more likely that he will fulfill the duties he asked for. I just asked myself if such a longterm duty can work out in a volunteer based organisation. We all have dayjobs (most of us), people sometimes put up other prios. We ask for somebody who fills roles for a pretty long time and stay committed to a project. On other projects you can go silent for a while, this is not possible when being a mentor or a champion. > > > > >>________________________________ >> From: Christian Grobmeier <grobme...@gmail.com> >>To: general@incubator.apache.org; Joe Schaefer <joe_schae...@yahoo.com> >>Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 5:18 PM >>Subject: Re: [VOTE] Clarify the role of the Champion as an "incubation >>coordinator" >> >>On Tue, Jan 17, 2012 at 11:15 PM, Joe Schaefer <joe_schae...@yahoo.com> wrote: >>> I doubt writing some more documentation on >>> some webpage about yet another set of responsibilities >>> for yet another role will make a material >>> difference to anyone's behavior.
