For that to happen I think the disclaimer text would need to change, I’m 
assuming you don’t think that. Even so a DISCLAIMER doesn’t remove legal 
obligations.

Only if the incubator is not considered a TLP but is a special construct within 
the Foundation. Several people have indicated they see the incubator as a TLP.

We want to be at “D” or “E” , we’re currently at “A”  and there's a few steps 
that need to be taken. I don’t believe the IPMC can just say “make it so” and 
move from “A" to “E”. We also need consensus which I don’t believe we have yet, 
so we might end up at “F” or “G”. Also if we make this position “offical”, it 
will stop the same issue from reoccurring in the future. It has occurred every 
few years since the incubator has existed as far as I can tell. Well that’s the 
way I see it anyway, you and others may see it differently.

Thanks,
Justin
