I'm fascinated that such an overwhelming majority of the questions are 
about money, and I'd be curious to know what kind of answers were given 
to this.

Looking at the list of members of this ALC - 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/ALC+Indore - I am 
pretty confident that they got the right answers, since the list is 
heavy on people with experience at Apache.

But looking out longer term, I'm concerned, as I mentioned in the other 
thread, that we are authorizing people to speak on our behalf, by virtue 
of nothing more than sending an email to this list with "request to 
setup ALC Foxtrot Arkansas". What vetting do we have in place before we 
delegate our name to people who are neither members nor committers?

Thank you so much Rich for raising this critical point.
As mentioned in separate mail thread, I have started communication on the
private ComDev list on this sensitive issue.
