A requirement for Apache Top-Level projects. For more information see "Preparing a Charter" topic as part of the "Guide to Successful Graduation" found here:

Template: https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/board/templates/podling-tlp-resolution.txt

Example charters:

And older ones (which include the "bylaws" paragraph, not needed anymore)

It appears (but needs to be verified) that once Resolution is drafted (at that stage of grad. process) it can be submitted (along with the name of the chair nominee) from our project Whimsey page here (near bottom):

However, the official page indicates an email to the board is needed (following IPMC VOTE):

  • ... the resolution should be submitted at least 72 hours before that meeting. A calendar for meetings is available. Business for the Board should be submitted by a post to the board mailing list. Posting from an Apache address is recommended. Mixing public and private lists on a post is not recommended.

Be aware that our Whimsey page has the following WARNINGs that I am not sure how to address (since we have releases, and ASF licenses etc.)

Licensing

  • No Software Grant and No IP Clearance Filed, No Release Yet/Missing ASF Copyright Headers on Source Code, No Release Yet/Binary has licensing issues
