I vote +1. Folks, I'm taking the unusual step of now closing the vote. We have discussed contributing the new D-TA over the dev channel for the last couple of months and there has been no disagreement as to our need to go forward with this.
I will now:
a) send a [RESULT] email into the channel
b) create and update the IP clearance forms in subversion on
incubator/public/trunk/content/ip-clearance/
c) send an email into general@incubator to ask for lazy consensus which should
last 72 hours
Thanks
Brian
