Dear Apache bRPC Community,
Following the [DISCUSS] thread which has gone 72 hours without any further issues raised [1]: All existing PPMC members agree to stay as PMC members, and we agree that Ge Jun（James Ge）will be the PMC leader. Our mentors vongosling, Panjuan,jbonofre all agreed to stay as PMC members after graduation. So I will call for a Vote now. This is a call to VOTE on the Graduation of Apache bRPC from the Incubator to a Top-Level Project (TLP). Please vote: [ ] +1: Apache bRPC is ready to graduate to TLP [ ] 0: No opinion [ ] -1: Apache bRPC is NOT ready to graduate; please state the reason(s) If this community vote passes, we will proceed to the next steps. The graduation process is documented at [2]. The vote will remain open for at least 72 hours. A minimum of 3 binding +1 votes and more binding +1 than binding -1 are required to pass. The ASF requirements for voting can be found at [3]. Updates since incubation: 1.
