Agree to points #1, #2, and #3. Note that most projects simply agree to simple things like:
1. rotate the chair over some frequency of time X 2. abide by Apache voting policies 3. "be excellent to each other". Where are we in terms of the graduation? My proposal: 1. In the next 24 hours, I post up a draft graduation resolution for [DISCUSS] 2. In 72 hours I call a VOTE (community one) on graduating via the resolution 2a. if that vote passes, then we do 3 3. Post community vote tally on general@incubator along with draft resolution, vote there for IPMC 4. If at least 3 IPMC +1s (from #2 or #3 or together) and more +1s than -1s, it passes general@incubator VOTE after say 72 hours at least. 5. We post passed resolution into board agenda hopefully in time for board meeting in Dec 2013. Sound good?
