Election for Charlie Gracie as Project Lead on Eclipse OMR

I would like to nominate Charlie Gracie as a lead for the Eclipse OMR project. Since its inception, Charlie has had a strong presence within the OMR project. The breadth and depth of expertise Charlie brings for Garbage Collection and VM technology is unparalleled among project members. He has handled the bulk of the merge requests and is the second most active contributor on the project. In issue discussions, he has been a strong voice for the project and steered both code designs and "governance" discussions in directions that will contribute to the success of OMR. On his own initiative, he created a demo for the OMR technology using the SOM (Simple Object Model) project to showcase the OMR GC and, to create a JIT for SOM, volunteered to be a beta tester for prototype JIT technology called JitBuilder that will shortly become part of the OMR project. Charlie has actively promoted OMR at several open source conferences like OSCON and FOSDEM over the last year, has fostered relationships with many people in the ecosystem of developers working on language runtimes, and is an outstanding representative for the OMR project.

Charlie has shown himself to be worthy to join the project leadership for the OMR project.
