Good morning, Jeff (and everybody),
Your email from last night is rich in arguments and claims, too many to =
discuss in one sitting. However, you mention events and facts I would =
like to understand comprehensively. Therefore, would you please point =
me/all of us to the links where decisions you mentioned were recorded at =
the time and (hopefully) communicated to the general OpenAFS community? =
With Your Big Birthday coming this weekend (congratulations and best =
wishes, Jeff!), I am thinking you could either reply with the links to =
records or ask somebody else to collect them for you so that you can =
more easily link them? Delegation of the task is no issue for me, so =
getting these links to records within the week should be feasible. But =
should be the one sending them, as you argued that you are the only =
remaining Gatekeeper, you were present, and you have seen the sources, =
and as it is important to me to get a complete and correct set of =
documents onto my desk. Blame it on my having five advanced degrees: =
once a scholar, always go back to the sources :-) Thank you very much.
Specifically, I am hoping you will direct me/us to the direct links for =
the following:
The records for the Council of Elders having legally become =E2=80=9Can =
unincorporated Association on 26 October 2000.=E2=80=9D This should =
include the state of the Association=E2=80=99s creation, and where and =
when those documents were filed, plus when and accepted by which =
authorities.
All records documenting for and to the OpenAFS community the =E2=80=9Cdocu=
ment that served as the Charter for OpenAFS=E2=80=9D, no additional =
reference offered in your email, and from which you were quoting in your =
reply.
All records documenting for and to the OpenAFS community anything =
pertaining to =E2=80=9CJanuary 26th 2006 when the Council of Elders =
voted to reorganize itself.=E2=80=9D
All records documenting for and to the OpenAFS community anything =
pertaining to Ben Kaduk =E2=80=9Ca Guardian appointed by the Gatekeepers =
before Daria=E2=80=99s resignation.=E2=80=9D This should include =
definition of =E2=80=9CGuardian=E2=80=99s=E2=80=9D role (privileges and =
responsibilities), who participated in making the appointment, and who =
(if any) voted against it.
All records documenting for and to the OpenAFS community anything =
pertaining your petition to step down as an Elder (as you mentioned) to =
the Council of Elders, and the Council having accepted your and/or =
anybody else=E2=80=99s resignation as Elder, as applicable. Plus when =
and how the Council of Elders reported this to the Gatekeepers, and when =
the Gatekeepers accepted your resignation as Elder; this should list the =
names of the Gatekeepers who voted plus their voting decisions, to =
record 2/3 majority decision among the Gatekeepers.
All records documenting for and to the OpenAFS community anything =
pertaining Daria=E2=80=99s petition to the Gatekeepers to step down as a =
Gatekeeper (and Elder, if applicable); this should list the names of the =
Gatekeepers who voted plus their voting decisions, to record 2/3 =
majority decision among the Gatekeepers.
A census which pieces of OpenAFS code, including 1.6 and 1.8 and Main =
branches, currently reside where, and who owns the infrastructure. This =
should include contact information for a contact person and/or =
administrator at MIT and other organizations if applicable. What are =
the terms of the agreement between OpenAFS and the host(s)? When and =
where was that published for the OpenAFS community?
All records documenting the role (privileges and responsibilities) of =
individuals who have hosted code and/or administered it. This should =
include where decision authority and/or action requests were defined to =
be located. What are the terms of the agreement between OpenAFS and the =
administrators? When and where was that published for the OpenAFS =
community?
All records documenting for and to the OpenAFS community anything =
pertaining to the funds contributed to the Council of Elders in 2003 by =
three institutions. Is there anything beyond the press release you =
mentioned in your reply? Who was on the Council at that time? Who =
administered those funds and what happened to them?
All records for any communication with any government agencies, =
including but not limited to the State of the Unincorporated =
Association=E2=80=9D of 2000, and on the Federal level, the IRS?
Beyond these items to which you explicitly or implicitly referred in =
yesterday=E2=80=99s reply, I would like for you to point me/us to:
All records documenting for and to the OpenAFS community any =
information/resolutions/official filings etc about other organizations =
that were and/or are part of and/or related to OpenAFS. One example I =
know of is the Kerberos and OpenAFS BPW Committee. Are there others? =
Alternatively, please jot down contact info for a representative of said =
organization(s) and/or committee(s) authorized to answer this; I will be =
happy to approach them directly and save you the work.
I want to do right by the OpenAFS community and the legacy of the =
OpenAFS technology. To that end, this information is critical, and I =
venture a guess that others may want to do some reading-up as well. =
Since you are the only active Gatekeeper, you appear to be the obvious =
person to be able to help me out. Should anything else occur to me at a =
later time, I will email again. Thank you in advance, Jeff. =20
And again: Happy Birthday and a wonderful celebration weekend.
Best,
Margarete
