Folks:

Discussion seems to have died down about the TLP proposal, and I think 
we heard a lot of valuable viewpoints during the conversation.  At this 
point, I think it's time to VOTE on the idea and see where we're at.

I've described what we're voting on on the wiki page [1], and will 
include it here as well:

* Restructure Axis2 as an independent TLP, containing subprojects that 
*directly* relate to Axis2 - these include all the Modules and 
Transports. This ends up being a reasonably sized and well-focused project.

* Once Axis2 is split out, we'll move the "sub-sub-projects" inside 
WS-Commons (Axiom, Neethi, XmlSchema) up to be WS subprojects. This will 
also involve making sure that the SVN authorizations are appropriately 
granular.

* We'll then do a review of the remaining projects inside WS and based 
on that, decide whether any further action is needed. Such actions might 
include promoting more projects to TLPs, or retiring stagnant codebases.

Please chime in with your VOTE on this (and indicate binding/non-binding 
depending on whether you are a PMC member).

Here's my +1 (binding).

Thanks,
--Glen
