    in in the previous year. For a project nearing graduation I'd expect to
    see a lot more people voted in. I also don't see what is discussed in the
    video conferences being brought back to the list.

+ --------------------
+ Iceberg
+ 
+ Iceberg is a table format for large, slow-moving tabular data.
+ 
+ Iceberg has been incubating since 2018-11-16.
+ 
+ Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
+ 
+   1. Finish the name clearance and trademark agreement.
+   2. Make the first Apache release. (https://github.com/apache/incubator-iceberg/milestone/1)
+   3. Grow the Iceberg community
+ 
+ Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
+ aware of?
+ 
+   * Gitbox traffic is now going to issues@. The community was losing dev@ subscribers
+     because of the high volume of traffic from Gitbox. However, now all updates are sent
+     to issues@. It would be nice to have emails from creation go to dev@, while updates
+     and resolutions would go the issues@.
+   * The trademark agreement proposed by Netflix was not acceptable to the ASF. It
+     would be helpful if the ASF published the terms that the ASF requires to avoid trial
+     and error. Netflix is drafting a new agreement.
+ 
+ How has the community developed since the last report?
+ 
+   * Moved gitbox notifications to avoid loss of dev@ subscribers (self-reported leaving dev@).
+   * New contributor activity: 3 new issues opened, 4 PRs submitted
+   * 5 PRs from non-committers merged
+   * 2 contributors started reviewing PRs
+   * New design doc proposed by a community contributor
+   * Moved issues from Netflix repository to Apache repository
+ 
+ How has the project developed since the last report?
+ 
+   * Planned blockers for first release, 0.1.0, in milestone 1
+   * Partial python implementation submitted
+   * Manifest listing file added to the spec and implementation committed (blocker for initial release). Resulted in a significant improvement in query planning time for large tables.
+   * Abstracted file IO API to support community use cases
+   * Reviewing community proposal for external plugins to support file-level encryption
+   * Added doc strings to schemas
+ 
+ How would you assess the podling's maturity?
+ Please feel free to add your own commentary.

+ When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?
+ 
+   None yet
+ 
+ Have your mentors been helpful and responsive or are things falling
+ through the cracks? In the latter case, please list any open issues
+ that need to be addressed.
+ 
+   Last month was December, so traffic has been low and both PPMC members and
+   mentors were slow to respond. This is not abnormal, but the PPMC missed the
+   deadline to file this report. We will ensure this doesn't recur.
