In the moment the code is openly available I would think the DMTF will be happy to promote it.

There is minimal (IMHO) support for all the infrastructure that is generally required for policy. A proper framework for policy enforcement points, policy decision points, policy repositories and a set of tools to make working with policies easier could be a next step, however, this would probably be independent of SPL. This would be less an evolution around SPL than a generalization of the toolkit for a larger policy platform. As far as next steps for Imperius...there is currently a small user community, but my vote would be for promotion based on the fact that Imperius is a working implementation of an accepted standard (CIM-SPL at dmtf.org). Given that it implements a standard, it would seem to make sense to promote Imperius and host it at Apache. And of course if we have agreement about whether and how to evolve Imperius that would only strengthen the case for promotion. Thoughts?
