Jeff is absolutely right. Theses are decisions which affect all the
developers in OFED, and which don't get decided by any one party. Sounds
like a con call is in order.

Once the EWG has agreed development processes, not to mention schedules,
this information needs to be published on the OpenFabrics website, so it
is readily publicly accessible. Given the hundreds of emails which come
into some of us each day, and despite all our best efforts, one is
reminded of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where the plans for
the new hyperspace bypass were publicly available in the basement of the
townhall in a locked filing cabinet hidden in a disused lavatory, whose
door is posted with a sign saying "Beware of the Leopard".
