Remind me, please. With respect to Sponsor, why not just say that the Sponsor is either a Member or a PMC (via the PMC Chair or a Member who is a PMC member)? If a PMC is bringing a project for incubation, it would be the Sponsor. If a Member is sponsoring a project, the Member is the Sponsor. Remember that there need not be a known destination for the graduating project. The Mentor/Shephard is a person, a member of the Incubator PMC, who will accepts the responsibility of guiding the project. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
