A sample email would be helpful here.

From what I remember from when Geronimo graduated, a TLP needs to be
approved by the board, so the PPMC needs to create a proposal
including a proposed PMC chair and send that to the board. A
graduating project may also want to send out a press release, which
needs to be cleared with the PRC.
