Being new to this VOTING thing, I'm a bit confused. I believe I've made it clear in a previous message, that I'm in favor of the PROPOSAL to create the XML Graphics PMC which will be the new 'home' of FOP and Batik, but I'm unclear on how this process works. I'm also in favor of the votes for membership expressed below (scroll down a bit for my specific votes...).
What I'm unclear on, is the 'legal' difference between PROPOSAL and VOTE. I'd thought that the only time a VOTE really counts is when the SUBJECT includes VOTE. I've searched through the ASF docs, and the only place I can see PROPOSAL discussed, is[1], hence my confusion.:
[1] http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html
Rules require that a negative vote includes an alternative proposal or a detailed explanation on the reasons for the negative vote.
In any case, My VOTE(s) for this PROPOSAL (assuming they are appropriate now) are below:
Creation of the XML Graphics PMC +1

4. I propose both Vincent Hardy and Thomas DeWeese from the Batik
project as PMC members. I'd appreciate if at least one of the two
accepted even if you can't actively participate in the development.
You know it isn't much to do but it's important to have at least someone
on board.
Note that I will vote for Vincent and/or Thomas if they express an interest.
As will I.
Vincent Hardy +1 (conditional on his acceptance of nomination) Thomas DeWeese +1 (conditional on his acceptance of nomination)
