I believe the process is for the Board to create a new PMC whose IP and PMC members are an exact copy of the parent PMC. (Like the Unix “fork” function.) And then both PMCs delete the stuff, and PMC members, they no longer need.
Arrow itself was created via this process (from Drill). You could search the archives for the board resolution that created Arrow. The Incubator is not involved in the process. (Except in some minor ways, such as a name search.)
