<div>One of the main reasons given by the committee is that there
was <i>insufficient discussion</i> on license-review. In your
message <<a

moz-do-not-send="true">8d5fb3a8-86f5-89fa-4f3e-1ac5978af3b1@opensource.org</a>>,
of Fri, May 10, 5:51 PM you wrote "Thank you very much, your
opinions have been noted", which I took as the chair's
direction for me to terminate discussion of the license. This is
ironic given the response of the committee.</div>

One person stating the same point over and over again doesn't
indicate anything. We need more diversity of opinion, or at least
more voices with the same opinion so that we know the opinion is
commonly held.<br>

<div>Of course, we would also have more discussion if additional
well-informed people with a diversity of opinions actually
joined the list. Which I believe was the intent of the
restructuring of the license committee. But I don't see them
yet. Until we find a way to persuade them to show up, a
temporary fix might be for the OSI board to become more active
participants on this list.</div>

It's only been a month or two. It will take time.<br>
