<p><em>How do I fix problems with the generated IP Log? </em></p>
<p>The IP Log is generated based on data from Eclipse Foundation servers. If the log is being generated incorrectly, then the underlying data needs to be fixed. If you spot a problem, send a note to <a href="mailto:emo@eclipse.org">EMO</a>.</p>

+<p>The parallel IP Process allows an Eclipse projects to make use of project code contributions and third-party content before they are fully approved by the Eclipse IP Team. In versions of the IP Policy prior to 2019, projects needed to meet specific requirements to be able to leverage the Parallel IP. This is no longer the case: full vetting is now always applied in parallel in all cases.</p>

-<p>The Architecture Council is responsible for (i) monitoring, guiding, and influencing the software architectures used by Projects, (ii) new Project mentoring, and (iii) maintaining and revising the Eclipse Development Process. Membership in the Architecture Council is per the bylaws through strategic membership, PMCs, and by appointment. The Architecture Council will, at least annually, recommend to the EMO(ED), Eclipse Members who have sufficient experience, wisdom, and time to be appointed to the Architecture Council and serve as mentors. Election as a mentor is a highly visible confirmation of the Eclipse community’s respect for the candidate’s technical vision, good judgement, software development skills, past and future contributions to Eclipse. It is a role that should be neither given nor taken lightly. Appointed members of the Architecture Council are appointed to two year renewable terms; renewal is based on continued participation in mentoring or other council business.</p>
