Oops; thought I was sending to an internal alias.  In any case, the ccc 
is currently an Oracle-internal process for reviewing and tracking 
interface changes to the JDK.  I've been chairing the process for about 
the past two years.

The long-standing intention is to externalize the ccc process as part of 
the overall effort to open up the JDK-related infrastructure, like the 
bug system.  When that occurs, I'll provide appropriate documentation 
about the intention of the process, how it process works, and so on.
