Thanks for that advice, Craig. I have gone ahead and created https://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/arrow-rust-ballista.html in preparation for the vote and I have a couple more questions now:
1. The trademark search did find other software products using the name Ballista as a registered trademark. What are the implications of this? Will I need to remove use of that name from the PR before proceeding to a vote? 2. What do I do about the checklist item "Check that all active committers have a signed CLA on record"? Do I go ahead and put a date against it and add additional text stating that not all contributors have submitted a CLA? Thanks, Andy.
