I guess the problem I have with that is, during my days in incubation, I would have been hesitant to accept membership in the IPMC. I still don't want to be a member of the IPMC. It comes with greater obligations. IOW, why do I need to be approved as a candidate for state office if I just want to be on my town council? > >Once (c) is accomplished, the podling doesn't necessarily graduate.

The _first_ release benefits from mentors who signed up to >be there and vote, and subsequent releases have votes from inside the >group. I should have provided a more concise summary in my write-up. It is: 1) Establish the role of "Release Auditor" in the Incubator. 2) Incubating releases need 3 votes from Release Auditors 3) Any current or former TLP PMC member is automatically a Release Auditor 4) Podling members can be approved as a Release Auditor by vote of the IPMC. 5) Release Auditors check the process and legal aspects of a release and are not required to build and test the release package. 6) Can we build an Ant script that does the grunt work of preparing a report for release auditing?
