+CC'ing our project mentors

Hi MXNet Community and Mentors,

In order to move forward with graduation, I just wanted to follow-up on my
original post and again ask if there are any outstanding items that should
be covered before having a community vote to move forward. I also wanted to
ensure our mentors have visibility into this effort and support us.

I noticed in the project status[1] that there are missing dates under the
*Copyright* and *Verify distribution rights* sections. I am confident we
are in compliance in these areas now based on the thorough license review
process completed during the 1.9.0 release, but we have not specified an
exact date. Mentors -- is there a formal review process for this?

Unless there are concerns or objections with moving forward, based on the
graduation guidelines[2], the next steps should be:

   1. Hold a community vote for graduating the project
   2. Prepare a charter in the community
   3. Hold a IPMC vote for graduating the project
   4. Submit a resolution to the ASF board
   5. ASF Board Meeting final vote


I was able to update the project status[1] to reflect the current project
mentors, PPMC and committers, as well as update the list of incubator
status reports.

Thanks,
Joe
