Thread: Accidental inclusion of core team on funds policy?
I happened to notice what seems like a copy/paste error in the funds group
policy document on the website. The first para on the page explains Core Team
membership which seems incorrect as they are separate entities.
https://www.postgresql.org/about/policies/funds-group/
Shouldn't we do something like the attached?

Right now it implies that the Funds group reports to the Core Team, or that the Core Team has influence on the Funds group, which AFAIK isn't correct. -- Daniel Gustafsson

Fair enough, but should it really be there or is it something which should be
changed at some point? Right now it implies that the Funds group reports to
the Core Team, or that the Core Team has influence on the Funds group, which
AFAIK isn't correct.
Why is the Core Team membership mentioned there ?

Fair enough, but should it really be there or is it something which should be
changed at some point? Right now it implies that the Funds group reports to
the Core Team, or that the Core Team has influence on the Funds group, which
AFAIK isn't correct.
Yes, it is. The core team has the power of veto over the Liaison and Deputy Liaison.
This page is the charter which describes the relationship between the project and the funds group, so it makes sense (because others within SPI don't know our project) to have all the key details in one place.

Perhaps it should not actually be listed under "general policies" then, and instead have a separate heading for charters? I think it's the only such page we have, right? //Magnus

At the moment, I believe it is. We should probably add something similar for PGCA though.
