  • Thread-topic: [External] : [rest-dev] Nomination for Extra Project Lead: James R. Perkins
> Therefore, I like to propose the nomimation of James R. Perkins (IBM) as an ADDITIONAL project lead besides Santago, and to explicitly "confirm for formal reasons" Santiago as our CONTINUED project lead. For both movements I like to reach consensus on this mailing list, as it makes no sense to perform official elections if somebody would veto it anyways. So I am kindly asking ALL COMMITTERS of this project to briefly comment on this movement within the next days. If I do not receive any veto or otherwise good reason for holding me back, I will then file the nominations on the EF's official voting platform. Thank you!
> 

 +1 to having James a co-lead.

> To make clear: The role of "Project Lead" is just a MANAGEMENT position between the EMO (the EF's formal organization) and our own project. Its main duty is to do all the paperwork needed for releases, committer elections, etc. He is in particular responsible that our project follows the EF's rules. A project lead is NOT an owner of the code or the project, NOR has any other powers, veto rights, etc. inside the project itself, compared to any other committer. Also, a project lead is NOT a marketing or dev rel position. Just in case you did not know already.

I am grateful for his dedication and esprit, and it was a pleasure to work with him before and behind the scenes. James, please confirm that you would accept a nomination for project leadership.

 Yes, thanks for all the work James.
