Those points will be addressed in the proposed Resolution we send to the IPMC. What we're having right now is the preliminary "community graduation vote", which according this diagram from the IPMC's "Guide to Successful Graduation" occurs *before* the charter is created: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#toplevel Not that this same guide says of this community vote, "It is unlikely that IPMC members will vote to approve graduation unless the Mentors and community positively express their readiness for graduation. " So I am slightly concerned that you do not feel able to vote in this ballot, which merely expresses (per the graduation guidelines) our readiness for graduation. -Rob > Note, I'm generally in favour of the proposal but I do want to be sure that > the community has the resources it needs to continue to build and maintain > a healthy,vibrant and inclusive community.
