I have taken Stephen's page and attempted to integrate my understanding of the concept of a Sponsoring Entity (e.g. XML project in the case of XMLBeans).
This is all based on what I have seen during the course of the XMLBeans incubation startup.
Apologies for term *Sponsoring Entity*. I couldn't come up with anything better on the spot.
I have also very much de-emphasised the role of the sponsor. From what I've seen, the key role post acceptance is the Shepherd. If the Sponsor wishes to become the shepherd, then they retain the responsibilities, otherwise they can move onto other things, having convinced an appropriate body in the ASF to take on the candidate.
Peoples - I am very happy to back these changes out, but I wanted to put continue the approach of having something concrete in place to help the discussion along.
Cheers,

I have prepared a new page based on the oringal content that Berin prepared. Here is a summary of the things I changed/added:
1. cleanup of the descriptions and terminaolgy (product/project/sub-project) etc. 2. simplification of the description of the pmc (complemented with addition process content) 3. sharpending the description of the scope of responsibility of the PMC chair 4. introduction of the notion of sponsor 5. harmonize content so that sponsor and shephard are complementary 6. introductory description of the process end-to-end 7. breakout of all roles in an equivalent format with identified responsibilities

I would appreciated any feedback concerning content and suggestions on how we could proceed with migrating this to a structured set of policies and procedures that could be adopted by the Incubator PMC.
Cheers, Steve.
