Hi Michael,
The IP clearance is not normally done in incubator since the entire IP
in the podling code base is in a sense being cleared.
But Richard should not wait to send in his CCLA/Grant, ICLA, and ICLAs
for any other authors of the code.
The CCLA/Grant is the only thing I'd wait for before committing the
code to the Tashi repository. If you also want Richard to be a
committer, there's a process for that:

I was wondering if I could get some help/guidance form our mentors
on something. I've been working with someone else on the
possibility of merging another project called Zoni in with Tashi.
Zoni is a system for managing physical machines in a cluster.
I've generated as much of the IP clearance XML as I can and have
attached it to TASHI-7 (a jira issue). Richard Gass (the primary
developer of Zoni outside of Apache), has attahced the source code
to the jira as well. As part of this process, I would push for
Richard becoming a committer for Tashi.
My question is around whether I should be requesting additional
permissions to drive the IP clearance process or whether that's
something someone else should own. Additionally, should Richard
wait until the process is further along or should he send in his
ICLA, CCLA, and software grant forms now? I'm sorry if I've
misunderstood part of the process or if my question seems off-base.
Thanks.
