It's best to phrase the board resolution in the language customary to use, so cut and paste as you have done is good. :-) And when you post it to the incubator list, just be sure to mention you modelled it after iBatis. > Also I don't know whether we need to make a case to the Board why we > want to be a TLP?

I suspect where this might get discussed is [EMAIL PROTECTED] as part of the greater graduation discussion. If I'm not mistaken, it's the Incubator that recommends graduation of a podling to a TLP to the board. -jean > Comments? > > Andrus > > > > > ----------------- > Board Proposal: > > Apache Cayenne developers have voted to request the ASF Board to establish > Cayenne as a Top Level Project at the ASF.
