Could you approve his CCR?
 
  
 
  
  Hi I don't think there is anything in our process that is written
      down and speaks to the sentiment that's written here. If we want
      to provide some process description enhancements that speak to the
      issues written below, we can but I would recommend we include this
      submission.

      I think you may have read my email as advocating for them to be
      included.  It's definitely not the case.
       
       
      I suspect that they'll have a hard time finding
        someone who will approve now.  If that turns out to be the case,
        it basically means none of us thought it was of enough value to
        include in the release, but no one is the "bad guy" who blocked
        them.  Sort of like in a very large corporation if you need
        permission, you might not ever find someone who will say no to
        your idea and engage you in a political fight, but you're also
        unlikely to find someone to say yes.

              Yes,
                  David.  We
                  have a low bar for being a compatible product.
                   Someone marks it as
                  Accepted and they are in as a Compatible
                  Implementation.  
                
                But, the question
                  here is where to include a GF derivative as a CI for
                  ratification.  Several
                  teams have put in a ton of effort to ensure their
                  products are Compatible
                  with 9.1 and to be included on the ballot (GF, OL, WF,
                  and now TomEE).
                   Is it fair to these projects to allow a GF derivative
                  (with no added
                  feature or function) to be included on the ballot?
                   Yes, they ran
                  the TCK.  And, they definitely qualify as a Compatible
                  Product.  But,
                  do they qualify for being included for ratification
                  and the ballot?  That's
                  the question.

                I think that
                  criteria for getting on
                  the ballot should be someone from the platform project
                  (or respective spec
                  project) has marked the certification request
                  accepted.
                
                As the entity
                  casting the ballot, I definitely
                  don't want to 1) be solely deciding who does or does
                  not get on the ballot
                  or 2) be perceived as blocking someone.  If some one
                  feels the CCR
                  is acceptable they can approve and do not need to
                  convince anyone.  That's
                  a pretty low bar and if no one is willing to cross it,
                  then that's that.

                Hi, 
                  Some of you may have noticed that ManagedCat has
                  submitted their ManagedFish
                  product as a CI for Ratification: 
                   
                    Hi Kevin 
                    Can you also put ManageCat into the ballot as we
                    opened a 9.1 certification
                    request in https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-platform/issues/350 
                    Regards. 
                    Gurkan 
                   
                 
                  I have posted my thoughts on this request both to his
                  CCR (https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-platform/issues/350)
                  and the Specifications PR (https://github.com/jakartaee/specifications/pull/372).
                   I basically indicated that I didn't see a need to
                  list ManagedCat
                  as a CI for Ratification and include it on the ballot
                  because it's basically
                  just a commercially supported version of Eclipse
                  Glassfish.  I welcomed
                  him to submit his product for the Compatible Products
                  page. 
                 
                  Gurkan does not agree and is asking to be included on
                  the ballot.  This
                  is a unique case that is not directly outlined in the
                  EFSP.  What
                  are the collective thoughts from the Spec Committee?
                   We want to get
                  this ballot out today, so an immediate discussion is
                  required.  Thanks!
