This sounds like a logical approach.
 But, I don't want to do project management of the TCK Project.  I'll
let your team determine how to divvy up with work and track it via Issues
or PRs or whatever.

One observation...  I thought
the TCK project was going to do the work for Jakarta EE 9 TCK on Master,
not a separate branch.  Maybe I mis-remember that discussion, but
that's what I thought.  Whatever works for the TCK team is fine, but
I find doing new/current development on Master more logical.

Yes, the passing of the TCKs by the
Compatible Implementations is part of the Final Spec Version PR process.

Certification requests for Jakarta
EE 9 TCK must be run with Java 11 (that's part of our Release Plan).  Compatible
Impls may also certify with Java 8, if desired.  All of the Jakarta
EE 9 APIs will be compiled at the Java 8 level.

Thanks!
