Re: [dpdk-web] [PATCH 2/3] update Technical Board responsibility wording

[Dave Neary <dneary@redhat.com>]

Hi,

I had a concern about this one expressed to me, which I sent to the
govboard list and did not see any response - "shall be" is more rigorous
language than "is" - changing this does not improve the document at all,
and creates potential legal loopholes/confusion.

I would prefer this specific change not to be made.

Thanks,
Dave.
