I don't have such an example, but it might also just be because we say no earlier. > ...Is it culturally acceptable for IPMC members to vote no?... Definitely. > ...and what criteria would make it acceptable to vote no?... Off the top of my head I'd say: 1) Not enough experienced mentors 2) Projected Infrastructure costs too high 3) Project needs more time outside of the ASF to start building a community 4) Project doesn't have a concrete enough codebase to get started 5) Incomplete proposal, or something in it that makes us think the project will never graduate We usually detect 3) and 4) in the discussion stages, and 4) is not absolute, there can be interesting exceptions. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
