PMC Seat at the Jakarta EE Specification Committee

At least one seat is allocated to a representative of the EE4J PMC. The EE4J PMC may decide how to select its representative.

The current process:
The PMC appoints a representative from within the PMC that is a member of an organisation or is an individual that does not already have a seat via their membership as a Strategic Member or via an Election. If there are two or more members of the PMC that satisfy these criteria and wish to have a seat on the specification committee then a vote within the PMC is carried out to determine the representative.

How should we handle the situation now that all PMC members/organizations are now represented?

The PMC agreed that it would not be ideal to add members to the PMC just in order to be able to fill the PMC seat in the Specification Committee.

Ivar will see if it is possible to let the runner up committer representative get the committer seat and continue representat the PMC as of today.

SNAPSHOT releases

Clarify what the situation is regarding Sonatype permissions and/or legal issues. Can e.g. JAX-RS publish snapshots to Maven central? Can we do development in javax namespace? Release not ok?

Action: Official request to Jakarta EE Steering Committee for what we are allowed to do:
Can the EE4J projects develop under javax? If so, which ones?
Can EE4J projects release snapshots?
Can EE4J projects release released artifacts?
