Given the lack of response on the proposal and the push from our champion to get moving :-), I'll assume lazy consensus and call a vote.

I would like to present for a vote the following proposal to be sponsored by the Incubator PMC for a new Validation podling. The goal is to build a community around delivering a JSR-303 Bean Validation implementation based on a new incoming codebase from Agimatec GmbH.

The proposal is available on the wiki at and included below:

[] +1 to accept Validation into the Incubator [] 0 don't care [] -1 object and reason why.
