| The vote I put forth attempts to get agreement on what you, Ed and many others have described is acceptable:
- Use any package of your choosing that's not jakarta.* - There's a recommendation, but no requirements to follow it
I attempted to be as pragmatic as possible and not put "this will be a requirement for Jakarta 11" so we could wrap this up as it is dragging on.
There are obviously people who don't agree with the above, so I don't see this concluding without a vote. Even use of jakarta.* will remain contested until a vote is passed.

I agree with this statement. We are not changing existing TCK package names, and there is no unanimous support for a single namespace, so the best guidance would seem to be that the API namespaces are trademarked and historically have not been used by TCKs. Let's codify that at the platform level in terms of disallowing application deployment artifacts, including TCK test vehicle deployments from using the API packages.
While I don't intend to speak for the groups, I believe the
discussion that was held in several different group meetings (at
least Spec. committee and Platform committer team) concluded with
advice -- the Specification teams are free to use any name-space
other than jakarta (or java or javax). Teams may use
ee.jakarta.tck if they choose and likely will. This applies to a
relatively small number of newly refactored specifications and, as
I understand it, they are prepared to move forward. This was
discussed at length and the most recent comments are documented in
the Platform
Committer team notes. I understand this may seem at odds with the Proposal statement of
the most recent (unapproved) Spec. committee minutes, but I'd note
that this is simply listed as a proposal and not minuted as
adopted. My recollection (which may certainly be flawed), was that
we did not have consensus on the proposal, nor on the timing of a
ballot that results in a 'requirement' statement. Rather than kicking off another ballot, perhaps we can simply
make that position broadly known (choose any namespace you want,
provided the namespace cannot start with 'jakarta.'). I don't
think that we want to force more change than needed until we have
a better and more well understood proposal.

Most the feedback was around wanting things to be
more explicit, information being in links and not understanding
context. I've created a new ballot and will post it.
Understand the length is in response to these concerns.
Greetings Jakarta EE Specification
Committee.
After a long discussion on
the naming convention of the Jakarta TCK namespaces,
the Jakarta community chose the package name: ee.jakarta.tck.[spec].
I need your vote to approve the Jakarta TCK package
name ee.jakarta.tck.[spec]
Per the process, this will be a seven-day ballot,
ending on January 19, 2022, that
requires a Super-majority positive vote of the
Specification Committee members (note that there is no
veto). Community input is welcome, but only votes cast
by Specification Committee Representatives will be
counted.
The Specification Committee is composed of
representatives of the Jakarta EE Working Group Member
Companies (Fujitsu, IBM, Oracle, Payara, Tomitribe,
Primeton, and Shandong Cvicse Middleware Co.), along
with individuals who represent the EE4J PMC,
Participant Members, and Committer Members.
Specification Committee representatives, your vote is
hereby requested. Please respond with +1 (positive), 0
(abstain), or -1 (reject). Any feedback that you can
provide to support your vote will be appreciated.
Thanks
