@corylown - Maybe this is something that we can discuss at the next Spotlight community meeting?

@ebtoner Can you say more here by chance about the discussion you wish to have -- and any concerns? Our agenda is pretty full for our community meeting on 3/26, but we're happy to make space for this if we can have a brief, well-defined and facilitated discussion.

This change has implications for community participation, so it makes sense to me that it would be discussed by the community first.

One area that might need a bit more clarification is the invitation to become a committer. Who makes that decision? Do you automatically become a committer by participating in a community sprint?

Perhaps @JesiBuell79 can weigh in here. We were just discussing this in the Sustainability Working Group meeting, so perhaps it can be included in her agenda item.

@ebtoner Thank you for raising the importance of this issue. This topic is now on the agenda for our 3/26 community meeting, and Jesi will facilitate it.
