[jira] Commented: (INCUBATOR-10) Incubation_Policy.html should specify to use the Incubator PMC

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-10?page=comments#action_12362092 ] 

Martin Sebor commented on INCUBATOR-10:
---------------------------------------

I agree that it would be helpful to clarify this point. We were also initially unclear on who our sponsor was -- see the thread at
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-stdcxx-dev/200508.mbox/%3c42F27772.1010003@roguewave.com%3e

> says:
> "Approval by a Sponsor will generally occur only after a vote within the Entity, and will require that the Entity be convinced that the Candidate is appropriate for Incubation. A Sponsor may be one of:
>     * the Board of the Apache Software Foundation;
>     * a Top Level Project (TLP) within the Apache Software Foundation (where the TLP considers the Candidate to be a suitable sub-project); or
>     * the Incubator PMC."
> Although in practice it appears that the Incubator PMC is the preferred sponsor for projects that would end up a TLP.  The site could say something like this:
> Where a top level project is not an appropriate sponsor, the Incubator PMC is the preferred sponsor.  Requests should be sent to the general (AT) incubator.apache.org mailing list.
