Summary

FPC CommitIDs Proposal

FESCo had no objects to the Fedora Packaging Committee's proposal for allowing freeform use of version control system data in the release field of snapshot packages. For more information please refer to: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/CommitIDs
Feature Policy Draft

FESCo had a long discussion of John Poelstra's Feature Policy Draft. John will work on incorporating some of the suggestions into his proposal. For more details, please refer to the IRC log. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JohnPoelstra/FeaturePolicyDraft
All new packages must be reviewed before cvs import

FESCo approved spot's proposal that all new packages (including compat packages) must be reviewed before cvs import.
Opening FESCo election vote to more people

FESCo approved a proposal to expand the pool of people eligible to vote for the upcoming FESCo election. This was done since FESCo's new scope of responsibilities affects many different parts of the project.
Misc

jwb proposed that future proposal drafts be sent to public mailing lists, so more community feedback can be gathered.
