Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Formal Proposal and Public vote record for Jakarta NoSQL
I don't feel strongly about doing it now vs. doing it later, but I do feel strongly that we need to do it.

I would be fine if the Jakarta NoSQL team immediately submitted a project proposal and went through the normal creation/restructuring review process to create the specification project.  I don't consider this controversial, it's more just a test of our process, but we have plenty of other tests queued up.  :-)

I think we should just point the team at our process docs and see if they can figure it out.  If they can't, that would be a bad sign.

I'm fine we table even this discussion till after Jakarta EE 8.

The simple statement is since we didn't really have a formal proposal for NoSQL and a formal vote with a public record, we don't really have anything to point out we say "this is how we work."  Bill called this out very early and recommended we go back and follow the formal process when we had it.

Do we want to do this at some point?  Specifically the two assets the exercise would give us:

 - A template on how to propose projects -- initiating a Creation Review
 - A format to follow for publishing the results of a Creation Review

Again, I'm fine if we push this to October.  It would be nice to have a formal proposal and formal vote on record, even if after the fact.  Something like this:


Our process could be as simple as a github issue filed in a specific "jesp" repo or "specification-committe" repo.  Something a little better than meeting minutes, but not quite as fancy as writing new software.

If we maintained a repo with a curated list of JESPs in any state, we could potentially facilitate state changes (the different reviews we do), but having the project in question submit a PR.  We do the review and merge the PR or not based on our vote.

This is me brainstorming.  Open to other ideas.  I'll see if I can create a sample repo that might be in the format we could accept.
