FW: [ALL PMC CHAIRS] Export Notification policy

We need to inform the board in the next report of any export licenses.
To my knowledge XMLBeans doesn't have any of this code so I'll just
report that to the board. In the case that you find this is not accurate
please let me know.

Thank you,
Cezar

Subject: [ALL PMC CHAIRS] Export Notification policy

Each and every PMC chairman;

I've sent notices to private@ ws.apache.org and xml.apache.org with
respect to the Export Control Notifications required for any crypto
components, notably Axis/Rampart and XML/Security, based on their
absence from the grid at;

   http://www.apache.org/licenses/exports/

If all VP's would ensure that this documentation is reviewed

   http://www.apache.org/dev/crypto.html

to determine if your project also falls under these procedures, and
please bring your project into compliance by the next notice date,
I'd appreciate your adding a note to your next board report that this
was reviewed and any reporting deficiency was corrected.  You need to
note this is done, but can certainly delegate this task to your PMCs
subproject chairs, and so forth.  I simply need you to personally own
that the review is conducted by your next reporting cycle.

Failing that, I'll be seriously harassing your project individually
about this subject, and failing that, infra will have no choice but to
take your distributions offline ;-)  I'd like to do this in a single
pass, just reviewing 1/3 of the foundation each month, and bringing
everyone on to the same page by the April board reports.

If your project is covered on the licenses/exports/ page or you have
documented this review by your next board reporting cycle, you will make
everyone most happy :)

Many thanks in advance for reviewing this with an eye to your project.
The legal team is very happy to address all of your questions, you can
either subscribe to legal-discuss@apache.org and raise your questions
there, or you can often ping one of us on irc.freenode.net on the #asf
channel.  We are here to help decode any confusion (and improve those
pages if something is ambiguous.)  Several projects have successfully
followed the procedure, so it should not be all that difficult now.

Bill
