The nine-member board of the Apache Software Foundation meets once a month, via conference call. In between meetings, they conduct business in the traditional Apache fashion, on a mailing list (board@apache.org). All PMC Chairs are required to subscribe to the board@ mailing list, and other ASF Members are welcome to subscribe if they wish.
