Well, there were two statements separated by "and". The second was
inaccurate to my understanding.

I replied to your email because it misrepresented what I understood was
the desired (from our group) way to proceed.

That was one of the questions. Jen's email didn't seem to clarify
despite the fact that I asked it in what I think was a very clear way.

The lists are in place, but I did not set up the forwarding. I was
waiting for word from the incubator management.

However, the way I will proceed is to set up forwarding and let them
sort out whether that's a problem or not.

No infrastructure changes we agreed?

The intent, as I understand it, is for the @globus mailing lists to be
monitored. Forwarding achieves that, and at least Charles seems to agree
with that view. Jen doesn't. My interest was in clarifying which one is
the official incubator management position. Bummer!

We'll need to have our roadmap open to public comments. The CI Trac
doesn't quite fulfill that, so we'll need to move it to bugzilla.

Whether I, as a non-chair committer, can at all interact with the
incubator management. The answer is, again, fuzzy, but it seems to
suggest that I cannot. So good luck!
