KB, Karsten, Interest in NFV SIG has been heating up lately. I have been acting chair of NFV Sig but there are some lose ends. 1. I am not sure if I have received formal approval as chair. I have received endorsements from current members including Dfarrel and DNeary, the acting chair and active contributor/committor at the time. I understand that this requires board approval. If so, can that this item be placed on the agenda for the next board meeting? 2. I have an account on wiki.centos.org but don't have permissions to edit the NFV SIG wiki page, https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/NFV Do I need a bugz for this? 3. Do additional package builders/members in the NFV SIG require board approval in addition to SIG chair approval? I have received informally two NFV SIG member requests. I have asked requestors to file bugz.
