David N. Welton commented on INCUBATOR-10:
------------------------------------------

I would put TLP's as the most likely sponsor *if a project would fit*, then the incubator PMC, then the board, as a last resort.

I think I would link the 'sponsor' section, but also explain the actions to be taken at that point, for anyone doing things step by step.

Otherwise, it looks pretty good to me.

> says:
> "Approval by a Sponsor will generally occur only after a vote within the Entity, and will require that the Entity be convinced that the Candidate is appropriate for Incubation. A Sponsor may be one of:
>     * the Board of the Apache Software Foundation;
>     * a Top Level Project (TLP) within the Apache Software Foundation (where the TLP considers the Candidate to be a suitable sub-project); or
>     * the Incubator PMC."
> Although in practice it appears that the Incubator PMC is the preferred sponsor for projects that would end up a TLP.  The site could say something like this:
> Where a top level project is not an appropriate sponsor, the Incubator PMC is the preferred sponsor.  Requests should be sent to the general (AT) incubator.apache.org mailing list.
