Re: IP clearance officer for accepting Terraform

All,

We've completed most of the actions [1][2] per the IP clearance process [1]
and the initiative is tracked by a Github issue [2]. The ICLA and software
grants by the codebase/repo owner Sander van Harmelen has been acknowledged
by ASF secretary@ to PMC and all contributors have been asked for any
objections to the IP clearance / codebase relicensing/import initiatives.
To date we've not received any objections from contributors and most
contributors have agreed to this either over email thread or on the Github
issue [2].

Now we need an Officer or Member of the ASF to (1) check and commit the
completed IP clearance XML form (
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/content/ip-clearance/cloudstack-terraform.xml),
(2) Start a vote on general@incubator, and finally (3) post the result
thread and notify the ACS PMC that codebase are cleared for import.

I had asked Paul last week who originally volunteered but hadn't seen any
further action. Paul can you confirm if you can start a vote on incubator@
or are busy and aren't able to do so this time?
If we don't hear from Paul in the next 72 hrs I propose we have our PMC
chair Gabriel to volunteer or find a volunteer per [1].
(I'm happy to volunteer as well, looks like I can svn commit the XML file.
I'll discuss/ask again on Wed)
