Consider creating board-pmcs@ list

This was extracted (@ 2025-10-25 13:10) from a list of minutes which have been approved by the Board.

Please Note The Board typically approves the minutes of the previous meeting at the beginning of every Board meeting; therefore, the list below does not normally contain details from the minutes of the most recent Board meeting. ASF Members may have access to a private draft of these still-unapproved minutes.

WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
This is due to changes in the layout of the source minutes over the years. Fixes are being worked on.

 Several issues were raised:

 The board@ list is often used to discuss topics that while are
 relevant to the operation of the board, are not relevant to the
 majority of the subscribers.

 The board@ list is often used to discuss topics that should not be
 discussed widely and sometimes devolve into free-for-all rants.

 The board@ list should be used to solicit feedback from PMC chairs
 but in its current usage, is ineffective.

 There is consensus that splitting the board@ list into at least two
 lists is advisable: one for official board business; and one for
 discussions.

 The members@ list also suffers from a similar issue.

 @Brett: take the discussion to the board@ list (!) and recommend a
 solution.
