Hi By the way, according to https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/Graduation+Criteria, the process is:
The Graduation Vote 1. The PPMC starts a [DISCUSS] thread on dev@ to assess readiness. 2. After consensus, a [VOTE] thread is held on dev@ and then on [email protected]. 3. The IPMC reviews the evidence and votes whether to recommend graduation. 4. Once approved, a Board resolution is submitted for formal approval. So, [DISCUSS] is not clearly called there. Should we update the wiki page to mention that ?
