Hi Joe,

Can you do the VOTE for all Incubating projects? I'm sure mentors would put their own projects into the mix, so rather than just a few, let's do it for all of them.

Cheers,
Chris

I have come to the realization that I'm not
going to convince Noel to see things my way
any time soon, so I'd like to now ask for a
formal majority consensus vote on relaxed rules
for the 3 aforementioned projects.

Specifically, for thrift, sis, and esme, I wish to
remove the current rule that requires 3 votes from
IPMC members to approve a vote on a new committer,
effectively delegating the decision to the PPMC.
Additionally the pre-ack would be removed, but no
other process changes are anticipated.

Here's my +1.

No, I have created enough of a backlash on members@ about
this exact subject and didn't get enough visible support
for my position there to push a global process change at
this time.  I agree with Sam that the road forward involves
first poking a small hole in the dam and seeing what happens.

Let's start with that.
