Procedure for submitting requests for clarification to the committee
Hi,
Ther5e are issues that are arising from the ongoing move to
FHS compliance that may need resolution through the technical
committee. However, there are no public protocols or procedures to
table a proposal to the committee.
Personally, I think the tech committee has too much power
contained in too few hands for it to be involved in any situation but
that of the last resort, or for it to act ininvited or on its own
accord.
I posit that we also need a protocol that would prevent abuse
of this process (there have been fears that once this process is
widely known, then certain people shall tend to submit frivolous
RFC(larifications) whenever their whim is thwarted ;-).
Under the powers of this committee, the constitution states
that any devreloper or group may refer a decision to the committee,
but does not define any procedures that need be followed.
What would teh committee feel about a requirement that either
the project leader, or a group of developers (not less than 5,
possibly 10), can submit a *technical* problem, and optionally a
proposed solution, to be considered by the committee? The committee
would retain the right to refuse to consider a proposal, of course.
