This is a follow up on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-14, which I opened to track this doc topic.

I'd like to clarify the "Releases" section in http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html (I'll also add a table of contents to the top of that page to make it easier to navigate).

(1) What's the "Charter" referred to in this section?

There are two "Reference to Charter" sentences:

"Such approval SHALL be given only after the Incubator PMC has followed the process detailed in (Reference to Charter)"

"Should the Incubator PMC, in accordance with (Reference to Charter) vote to approve the request,"

What document comprises the official Charter?

(2) Process details

I'd like to modify this sentence:

"Therefore, should a Podling decide it wishes to perform a release, the Podling SHALL formally request the Incubator PMC approve such a release."

And incorporate specific details from http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/200601.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] :

"Therefore, should a Podling decide it wishes to perform a release, the Podling SHALL hold a vote on the Podling -dev list. If the majority of all votes is positive, then send a summary of that vote to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and formally request the Incubator PMC approve such a release. Three +1 Incubator PMC votes are required."


Is this correct and adequate?

thanks,

 -jean
