| Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] June 9th date |
Is it realistic to make a decision before the upcoming election? Of Course the members who represent strategic vendors are likely to stay the same, but the others have to go through elections and where this may lead to changes new members could have an even harder time to make up their mind. Werner Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: David Blevins There was a statement that the June 9th date was optimistic. It's really a defensive date with the assumption baked in that the community would not come to a clear agreement. Bill captured it pretty accurately at the outset that if the community cannot come to an agreement in 2 weeks, it will never happen. - Had we given 2 weeks, people would have spent the time complaining it wasn't enough time and directing javax frustration at us. - Had we given no date, we'd have left expectations open indefinitely and people would begin having discussions on how to wrap up the discussion, which would make two things people can't agree on. The community has been prepped for us to take action after June 9th. We should have an idea by the end of our Wednesday June 12th call what that action should be. We do not need to unilaterally decide on a winning proposal, but we do at least need to spare the community from the "discussion on how to wrap up the discussion" discussion. We will need to make a decision on how to take the conversation forward or to conclusion. |
