Hello Mentors, Here is the draft version of documentation I have created for the graduation of Apache Ranger Project, based on apache guide lines in http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html. Now I need your guidance on how should I take this to voting process. One thing I am not sure of is calling out "Vice President, Apache Ranger". Is this something ranger community decide and elect?
