Hi, Yea, TLP = Top-Level Project. My apologies for the acronym ;) It would mean Tomcat leaves Jakarta technically. There would be a Tomcat PMC (roughly consisting of all current committers), reporting to the ASF Board. There would be a tomcat.apache.org instead of Jakarta.apache.org/tomcat (obviously old links will be kept as forwarding URLs for sanity sake). For more details on what's involved, you can google on the promotions of Struts, Lucene, Cocoon, or any other sub-project that's now an Apache TLP.
As I said before, this is an informal survey. A formal proposal and vote would be the next step, but as one can see from the URLs below, there is a broad level of support within the ASF for Tomcat becoming its own TLP.
