Re: [modeling-pmc] MMT (M2M) Component Leadership

[Ed Willink <ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ed

I think there needs to be a vacancy before any election for leader can 
start, so I feel that the PMC (or EMO) needs to either declare the MMT 
leader post vacant or decide that a co-leader is appropriate and then 
declare that post vacant.

[I have some familiarity with the MDT web-site, so I would suggest 
cloning the MDT pages as the basis for a replacement MMT web-site. The 
M2M web-site has had limited maintenance for four years so it is 
probably easier to start from 'scratch' to get the correct style; 
migrating content might then be easy.]

    Regards

        Ed Willink
