Also, can a Particpant have multiple representatives on a a Specification Project?

I don't think that there should be an explicit rule that prohibits more than one committer per Participant company. But happy to have someone argue otherwise.
If decisions are ever made by voting (and I don't know what the EDP says about that), can Oracle have enough committers to out-vote everyone else?  That might make sense if all those committers are actively working on a code project, but is that what you want for specifications? Would you have different voting rules?


There is a different issue with the above. When you say "claim compliance in self certification", what are they claiming compliance to? If they don't have some sort of trademark license, I don't see how they can claim they're compatible with Jakarta EE.
If they pass the TCK, and especially if they use the distinguished TCK binary, how are they not compatible with the specification?


What about specifications defined outside the Eclipse Foundation?  Wasn’t the CDI, MVP, and BeanValidation specifications defined outside the JCP?   It should be possible to define a specifications outside the EF which can be accepted as the standard within Jakarta EE.
Honestly, this use case is driving me crazy trying to figure out how it can be done.

Having the Specification done elsewhere was a workaround for the Spec Lead problem in the JCP. And I don't think it works without a Spec Lead which accumulates the IP rights. Given the open IP flows under this new process, I cannot for the life of me figure out how it is even possible "...to define a specifications outside the EF which can be accepted as the standard within Jakarta EE...". Seriously. Think about it. I don't see how this works without an all powerful Spec Lead. Maybe someone smarter than I has a suggestion?
I agree.

And I thought we expected the above specifications to move to the Jakarta EE process?
