[sakai-pmc] PROPOSAL: svn cleanup

[Anthony Whyte]

The chair acknowledges the request for a formal roll call vote but notes too that responses to the proposal are trending negative: three -1 votes confirmed (Theriault, Severance and Whyte) together with the possible addition of a lingering fourth (Leveque)).  Given this, I request that a PMC member who supports the proposal second the motion for a formal roll call vote.  If a supporting motion is received on or before Thursday, 19 Dec., I will schedule a roll call vote.  If not, the proposal will be set aside due to a lack of consensus on the question.

Cheers,

Anth
