If the expected exit is as a sub-project, then the parent project's PMC should be involved in the incubation; this could be as simple as having the Sponsor be a Member from that project's PMC. The Podling would be expected to behave just like any other sub-project of the parent TLP. On the other hand, if the expected exit is as a TLP, then one of the goals of incubation should be for the Podling to establish the body that would become the new project's PMC on exit. This would provide the forum for the Podling's community to establish its policies and procedures under the supervision of the Incubator PMC. I would suggest the initial membership comprise the Sponsor, Shepherd and all initial committers, with additional members being added according to the policies the Podling defines for adding members to its PMC once it is a TLP. In other words, the body behaves as the ultimate PMC would but with the Incubator PMC responsible for the actual legal oversite. This should smooth the transition on exit. -- Jeremy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
