[DRAFT] Project Resolution

[Tom Hobbs <tv...@googlemail.com>]

Below is the draft resolution which we need to submit to the board.
It's based on the Harmony one, but I've obviously done more than just
a ":s/Harmony/River/g" - but please check for that kind of stuff as
well.

So what's missing/wrong/not needed?
