Those would be which ones? I do not see 8 binding votes (yet).
I apologize for not providing more details on this. The thread can be
seen here in the ofbiz-dev archives:

The people on the OFBiz PPMC who cast binding +1 votes are: Hans
Bakker, Si Chen, Al Byers, Jacopo Cappellato, David Welton, Yoav
Shapira, Andy Zeneski, and David Jones.
As for my own vote, -1 on a procedural basis:
Based on early discussion about OFBiz at the ASF (around the time
OFBiz entered the incubator) the best place for the project seems
to be as a top level project (TLP). This is a separate thing to
vote on, so I mention it here for information purposes only.
As has been discussed, the Incubator PMC would want to see the
proposal that
is to be put before the Board, so please submit one, and I'll
revise my
vote.
Otherwise, at first glance, things look pretty good. The STATUS file
(http://incubator.apache.org/projects/ofbiz.html) may or may not be
entirely
accurate (I haven't cross-referenced the Committer list, for
example), but
on the face of it, it is as complete as any I've seen lately.
My understanding based on the policy document is that the first step
is to have the graduation accepted by the Incubator PMC, and then
depending on where the podling will migrate to there are different
steps to take after "a Podling has successfully completed Incubation".
If I understand correctly what you are saying there is one more step
to take before we seek an approval vote from the Incubator PMC,
namely creating and submitting a proposal to the Incubator PMC that
they will send to the Apache Board for the whole TLP thing.
What would this proposal look like? Is this the (or I guess it seems
more part of the) recommendation or draft resolution mentioned here:
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/
Incubation_Policy.html#Migration+as+a+Top+Level+Project
I apologize for the questions and the omission, I've tried to look
around a bit but I still feel like I'm flying blind...
