=== Infra's Structure

=== Why is that important?
* Individual Infra members have some autonomy and discretion
* I don't think escalation means what you think it means
* We are professionals, you are professionals
=== Why is that important? (cont)
* The Foundation handles legal, privacy, and DEI policy
* Infra handles operational policy
== Why We Say "No"
We enforce the policy created by members, committers, the board, us, gnomes, ponies, etc.
=== Policy
* Legal
* Privacy
* Technical
* Resources
* Ongoing maintenance
== How to Communicate With Us
=== Methods of Contact
* Jira tickets
* Mailing lists (users@infra.apache.org)

=== Communication is a Two-way Street
