Hello IPMC, The recent DISCUSS thread in PPMC and VOTE thread in Community on the topic of Apache RocketMQ graduation have been opened for at least 72 hours, and I believe all questions have been answered and issues addressed at this point.
With the discussion having settled down, I would now like to call for a recommendation VOTE to present the ASF board with the following resolution to graduate from incubation and establish Apache RocketMQ as a top-level project (TLP).

Since then there have been two releases and four committers and one pmc candidate member have been added to the project. For each release, source and binary artifacts have been made available. Based on the completed maturity evaluation we believe that the project is ready to graduate from the incubator.
