Hi Andrew,

I totally agree that we need more OpenJDK developers in the security area and I'm sure Martin is a perfect fit for this role.

But the process document [1] clearly states that a "Contributor should make at least eight significant contributions to that Project before being nominated". From the references you've provided I can only see five changes contributed by Martin. I'd therefore like to kindly ask you to withdraw this CFV and postpone it until Martin has reached at least the required minimum number of contributions.

Sorry for nit-picking, but I think we should all play by the same rules.

Best regards, Volker

I hereby nominate Martin Balao (mbalao) to OpenJDK Committer.

Martin has already produced a number of valuable contributions to OpenJDK [0], particularly in the security area, and has more pending review. In an area that seems low on OpenJDK developers, I think we should do our best to support such work. Votes are due by 17h00 UTC on the 11th of July, 2018. Only current OpenJDK Committers [1] are eligible to vote on this nomination. Votes must be cast in the open by replying to this mailing list. For Lazy Consensus voting instructions, see [2].
