Hi Martijn,Having read all the posts on this proposal, I have to say I like the idea of documenting a few things:
1. Having a pro-forma email message that prospective PMC chairs can edit, just to make sure all the information is in them;
2. Suggesting that the prospective PMC chair keep the board meeting schedule in mind (subject to change but well-documented);
3. Having the recommended to: this; cc: that; subject: the other process in the graduation guide.
Of course, if you're really ready to graduate, you should already know all of this...;-)

The graduation guide is a bit vague and incomplete on one point: sending the resolution to the board. It is mentioned in the process description to send a message to the board (to board@), but there are of course no example messages to be found (board@ is not public). It would be nice to add the board@ list from the process description to the graduation guide (which I'll do soon), and perhaps mention a typical message that can be an inspiration for other Podlings. However, for proposing graduation to the IPMC a lot of templates are available, as anyone can search the general@ list for [vote] graduation. Are such templates, or guidelines for communicating with the board available? In its bare essentials I could just send the resolution to board@, but I think that gives the board a bit too much to dig through (what is that podling?, did the IPMC vote, are all status check marks checked?, etc). Of course these would be covered by the IPMC, however I can imagine that a member of the board at least wants to check what the project is.
