Hi Justin and IPMC Members, > The IPMC needs sufficient information to assess vendor neutrality, and at > this time, we don’t have it.
I've queried the data from [email protected] and the original proposal. It shows that the current Gluten PPMC membership consists of contributors from more than a dozen organizations. The largest affiliation group (IBM) has only six members and does not indicate dominance. Contributors originate from a wide range of orgs including Microsoft, Alibaba Cloud, NVIDIA, Meituan, Kyligence, Intel, Datastrato, BIGO, Baidu, and more.Independent contributors are also present. Hoping data provided below addresses the IPMC’s vendor‑neutrality concerns.
