any comments? any at all?
I don't know the formal form of such documents. If it fits the form,
then it is ok to me because the proposal contents looks just fine.

While it doesn't seem possible given infrastructure issues that are
interfering with mail to get something in front of the board tomorrow
(plus the fact that the board likes things in advance) if a miracle
happens I'd like to try, and if not, we need this anyway for next
month, so we should get this put to bed (and back to work).
Here's a proposed resolution to put before the board to create Apache
Harmony as a Top Level Project (TLP) of the ASF. As per a discussion
on the -private list, it's been suggested that I be offered as the
candidate to the board as the PMC chair, so I filled in that blank,
but that's open for discussion like everything else in this proposal.
(The board chooses a chair - we just make the suggestion). There's no
real rush to get this in tomorrow - as I said, it's really unlikely
anyway - so please speak up with comments or concerns.
