The wording in the Policy was deliberately non-procedural, as the  
Incubator PMC decided that policy belongs in the policy document and  
process belongs elsewhere. So as far as I'm concerned, this discussion  
is not supposed to have an answer.

So Bill's analysis is as valid as anyone else's. I'd suggest that one  
of the discussion issues for a proposal for a new podling is to look  
at the proposed Mentors and discuss whether the proposed Mentors  
should be voted into the incubator PMC before the proposal itself is  
voted on. Not policy, mind you. Just something for those who know to  
know.
