I still don't understand what's the extra bit of 'shine' that PMC posses that makes it so desirable? What do you think the original community (all committers) would NOT be able to do if they are not part of the PMC? To me, it boils down to two things: #1 vote on releases #2 vote on new committers I honestly don't see anything else. Now, with #1 -- this is business as usual. No changes to IPMC model. #2 actually raises a good point: if you want to conduct that vote on private@ how do you make sure the community's vote count? My answer is simple: open up private to all of the committers on pTLP (C == PPMC is what most of them should be doing anyway). Make them vote. Beyond a slight optics issue this is no different from a TLP PMC conducting a vote and then forwarding it to the board. The board reserves the right to say 'no', but how many times has it been exercised? > I read the rules instead of believing in "should".

Then, may be, the problem is that our terminology doesn't reflect our values (and I hope we can all agree which one out of these two needs to be tweaked).
