[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-10?page=comments#action_12362778 ]
Gavin commented on INCUBATOR-10: -------------------------------- The original description quotes from the 'Proposal' section of this page. Further down the same page under the heading 'Sponsor' has similar (but clearer?) wording :- ..'Sponsor The Sponsor is the entity within the ASF that makes the determination that a candidate would make a worthy addition to the ASF, and agrees to take on the candidate in question (or in the case of the Incubator PMC, assist it in finding a home) should it complete the incubation process. A Sponsor will be one of: The Board of the Apache Software Foundation. In this case, it is expected that the candidate would become a TLP on successful completion of Incubation. A Top Level Project within the ASF. In this case, the project in question has agreed that the candidate is a good fit for their project, and will take on the candidate as a sub-project upon successful completion of Incubation. The Incubator PMC. In this case, the Incubator PMC agrees that the project in question will make a good addition to the ASF, but there is no clear "owner" of the candidate should it successfully complete incubation. An incubation exit requirement for such candidates will be the identification (and successfuly lobbying) of an "owner" entity - either the board (and the candidate will be a TLP) or another project. '.. I would suggest therefore :- 1. that the sponsor relevent wording be removed from the 'Proposal' section in favour of a #link to the 'Sponsor' section instead. 2. the Sponsor section seems to order in top-down heirarcy of organisation rather than in order of preference and likely scenario. So maybe reverse the list order to read :- ..'A Sponsor will be one of (in likely order): The Incubator PMC. In this case, the Incubator PMC agrees that the project in question will make a good addition to the ASF, but there is no clear "owner" of the candidate should it successfully complete incubation. An incubation exit requirement for such candidates will be the identification (and successfuly lobbying) of an "owner" entity - either the board (and the candidate will be a TLP) or another project.

The Board of the Apache Software Foundation. In this case, it is expected that the candidate would become a TLP on successful completion of Incubation. '.. Maybe add after this something like :- 'In all cases the first stop should be the Incubator mailing list' WDYT? Once agreed I can make the changes to the page. > Incubation_Policy.html should specify to use the Incubator PMC > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: INCUBATOR-10 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-10 > Project: Incubator > Type: Improvement > Reporter: David N.
