See patch at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-93 to clarify the acceptance phase of new podlings because the process depends on who is Sponsor.

The gist of it is:

--------- In Incubation_Policy.xml ... * Add sentence to distinguish between IPMC being the sponsor or a TLP. * Move the "Acceptance of Mentors" paragraph to its own sub-section.

In Process_Description.xml ... * Add an "Introduction" section at beginning to remind to read other documents
which also explain the process. * Add words to distinguish between IPMC being the sponsor or a TLP.

---------

According to: http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Changing+this+Document "All changes must be authorised by the Incubator PMC."

To me it seems to be straight-forward changes. It is more than just tweaks, so it needs a vote.

Please vote on accepting these documentation changes.

This majority vote is open for one week. Votes from the Incubator PMC members are binding.
