Ok, this is not a vote yet, I just wanted to show the draft of a
board proposal (that I copied from iBatis). It is done in a form of a
board resolution. As it turned out, I can't formulate a single
sentence in legalese :-), so I didn't bother to rewrite it as a
*proposal* (i.e. I left "NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED", instead of
"Cayenne developers request to do X"). I hope this is ok (??)
Also I don't know whether we need to make a case to the Board why we
want to be a TLP? Existing resolutions are very formal and do not go
into any such details. So how is it being resolved in practice?
Comments?
