Hello all,

As the discussion about the resolution [1] offered no further feedback, it is time for the Apache ACE community to request that the IPMC vote on recommending this resolution [2] to the ASF board.

Please cast your vote:

[ ] +1 to recommend ACE's graduation
[ ] 0 don't care
[ ] -1 no, don't recommend yet, (because...)

The vote will be open for 72 hours.

Greetings, Marcel

Note to moderators: I sent this message before, over 24 hours ago, with my apache e-mail address (that is not subscribed to this list). It's still stuck in moderation, which is why I'm sending it again today. If ultimately both end up on the list, my apologies, I will summarize the responses over both messages.
