</div></div></blockquote></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Just to point out a few things here, first off there is no guideline that states a company affiliation should have anything to do with the decision on voting somebody as core. I have ABSOLUTELY NO concern about representation of company affiliation what so ever. </span></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""> </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Quite frankly I wouldn't mind if there were 20 core members from HP, if they're all actively engaged and participating then that's great. I don't think there has been ANY incidence of folks exerting inappropriate influence based on their affiliated interest, and if there ever was I think it would be easy to identify and address.</span></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""> </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">As far as "don't need more" I don't agree with that either, if there are folks contributing and doing the work then there's no reason not to add them. Cinder IMO does NOT have an excess of reviewers by a very very long stretch.</span></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""> </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">The criteria here should be review consistency and quality as well as knowledge of the project, nothing more nothing less. If there's an objection to the individuals participation or contribution that's fine, but company affiliation should have no bearing.</span></p>
