When I added my 'vote', I was under the impression this was for the 
nomination of the CHAIR. I had thought that an additional, separate, 
VOTE would be necessary for the nomination to become finalized, since 
this appears to be only a nomination. It doesn't really matter (to me) 
either way, however, because I intend to VOTE for my nomination.

I don't know; I just copied from the previous ballot. 
I had assumed the latter.  Probably best to nominate
whom you would vote for.  I suspect the "losers" of
the nomination count will concede and no second vote
would* be necessary.

Nomination for XML Graphics chair

Posted by "Peter B. West" <pb...@tpg.com.au>.
I am pleased to be able to accept the nomination for the position.  Many 
thanks to those who nominated me.  I have nominated Jeremias, as I feel 
that many who have observed his efforts in bringing this project to 
fruition would wish to see him as chair.

This is not clear to me either. I thought that the nomination was for the 
Chair, not the Vice President. And if the Chair is the Vice President, then 
who is the President of XML Graphics?

Yes, perhaps a smiley face with my comment would have
been better.  I was just thinking that with a two-year

Clay,

I think what Glen is trying to say here is that you are correct in your 
appreciation of the situation.  And please, make sure you spend time 
playing with Jeremy.

I am under the impression '??????' refers to whomever is voted in as 
Vice President (the name of the 'winner' of the nomination and 
subsequent vote replaces the '??????'). In addition, I am under the 
impression that Person1, Person2, etc. will be those committers from 
Batik & FOP who've checked Part B (PART B:[X] I volunteer to be a 
member of the initial XML Graphics PMC). If this assumption is 
incorrect, I'd like clarification as well.

Hope this helps.

My votes are as follows:
 
PART A
------
[X] +1 - The attached resolution should be submitted
to the 
         Board for the formation of the XML Graphics
project.

[ ] -1 - The attached resolution is not suitable.  I
have a
         recommendation to improve it.

-----------------------------------------------------------
PART B
------
[X]      I volunteer to be a member of the initial XML
Graphics 
         PMC.

-----------------------------------------------------------
PART C
------
[ ]      I nominate myself as chair
[X]      I nominate Jeremias Maerki

If this is not a vote for the chair, then who is Mr. ??????, who by
this resolution is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache
XML Graphics?

Sounds good, so my previous ideas on this were
probably in error.  At this stage of the voting, we
can only take the text literally, and that it is just
a nomination to be voted on later.

    I'm not nominating, but with regards to the question
is this a vote or a nomination.  It probably should be
a nomination, whoever ends up on the PMC should then vote
on the nominations, that receive a second.  This is
typically how nominations and votes for offices are done
(the typically here is not 'typically in the ASF', but
typically as in most places - it is possible things are
different at the ASF).

As you've already figured out yourself, I also think part C is only
about nominating candidates for the position of the PMC chair. Later on
a vote will be held to determine that person.

I also hope that the "Mr. ?????? thing" is clear now with Glen's pointer
to the foundation page. Anything left to clarify?
