The guidelines - not the _policy_ mind you - says exactly this: "A major criterion for graduation is to have developed an open and diverse meritocratic community." So far there wasn't a single fact showing that the proposed podling has failed to do this. If such facts aren't brought to the attention of the IPMC I'd suggest we just drop the matter and/or move the further "policy" discussions to a separate thread to establish the semantics of that statements, if so desired.
