I like Joe's suggestion of having Mentors writing a report. But I would like the PPMC get some experience as well, since once they graduate they are tossed into the fire of producing "real" board reports on their own.
Possible extension of Joe's suggestion; The PPMC produce the Board report as if they were a top level project. Mentor produce separately the "road map to graduation" report, covering what has been done, what is going on right now and what is left to do. IPMC will quickly see AWOL Mentors and which podlings need help, without taking away the "training" of the PPMC...
