I think your response here points to the exact problem. We (other Commons PMC members) are not trying to block any and all initiatives. My goals (in order) are: 1. Determine who the participants in the Commons community are. A community consisting of just one person isn’t going to fly - either as a Commons subproject, an incubator project or a TLP. To me this is essential before proceeding down any path on what to do with the code, which is primarily why you feel people keep blocking you. 2. Once a community is established that community should collectively decide how to proceed - either continue as a Commons sub-project, an incubator project or as a TLP. Note that the TLP would require board approval which would almost certainly require the recommendation of the Commons PMC. 3. That community should then collectively determine what to do with the Commons Math code base. Some of it could be offered back to Commons, but that would require that Commons is interested in accepting it. For that I would expect the VOTE thread to identify who the individuals are that are committed to supporting the code being accepted, at least for a short while. IOW, I really feel like these vote threads are putting the cart before the horse. But that is just my personal opinion. As you will note I have not voted on any of them, so I am not trying to block them. But I should also note that so far not many other PMC members have either. Ralph
