Very simple. If Incubator Committee takes "graduation examination" bi-monthly in place by force partly, many "under-incubation" projects might pass the exams. Even though fails, they would pass in the next period. Psycologically, this would be proven without difficulty. Most of the "under-incubation" projects do not have "definitive goals". You can remember old high school days. "Exam" period makes people down in the dump but very important in life. Makes the green youths matured dramatically. Legally speaking, "legislation of specified duration" "an act valid for a specified period of time" ... would be different in terms of their blueprints and side-effects (psycological effects etc.) from normal acts. Especially, in criminal laws. Now I am talking about the effects of "specified duration" with an economist in japan who had been one of the members in IETF/W3C. I found a crucial difference between the asf and w3c. In Derivatives/Securitization (advanced finance) field, "DURATION" is a very important term, needless to say. I am sure that the concept of "duration" would be tightly related to institutionalization in any forms of the organizations.
