if it bothers you so much, you don't have to participate. :-) > The incubator AFAICT > replicated a tricameral vote. To release you must have: what do you mean by 'release'? release software, or be released from the incubator? ah, reading ahead i see you mean the latter. > 1. A PMC vote to accept it no. if there is no tlp sponsor, the board gets to create a new tlp for the soon-to-be ex-podling. if there is a tlp sponsor, it gets to incorporate the graduated podling. if it doesn't want it, the board will likely ask other projeccts if they want to adopt it, or create a new tlp for it. > 2. The committers of the project vote that they're ready to leave not a requirement, but almost certain to happen. :-) > 3. The incubator PMC vote to let them out. yes. so, only one vote, not three. > I would suppose #2 would the be the most vested group and #1 be the second > most (substituted for the board in the top level situation)... I'd suppose > #3 would be the least vested group. your suppositions would be wrong imnsho. #3 is the most vested, since nothing will happen without that vote. since the podling doesn't really need to vote to emerge, its vestedness (#2) doesn't apply. and #1 doesn't apply because when the incubator says the podling is ready to emerge, it will emerge -- one way or another. or am i misunderstanding what you mean by 'vested'? > The point?
