Not a blocker for me, just an observation.
I want to be clear about the hypothetical here. I think it is, "The board establishes a PMC containing some people whom it knows and trusts, and there is a larger community of some other people whom it would like to get to know and trust. (Or, even, the board included some of the second group in the PMC at the outset.) Before the second group merges with the first group, the first group loses motivation and disappears." It seems to me that this is not likely. To me, at least, signing up to be a PMC member is a much clearer commitment than signing up as a mentor, and, while I might be distracted for a month here and there, I'm not going to just wander away. I think I'd be pretty much typical (in this one tiny respect) of anyone that the board for a new PMC. To get into the pickle Bertrand is musing about, more than one of the group has to wander off, so that the remainder are not available to help recruit some successors from the general membership. > > -Bertrand > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
