The project must meet the Incubation requirements:

• Have an assigned GSF PM = @jmcook1186
• Project name should not be trademarked and should have the approval of GSF marketing.

The project must meet the Graduated Acceptance Criteria:

• Have a active set of contributing members from at least two member organisations = we have active participation in our calls and discussions from several organizations including Accenture (via @navveenb), Amadeus, NTT data, Microsoft and others.
• Have a public Github repository = https://github.com/Green-Software-Foundation/if

• Fit within the GSF Theory of Change: We fit directly into the Tooling pillar of the GSF Theory of Change. We are tightly aligned with the aim to enable measurement of environmental impacts and foster transparency with regard to carbon emissions.
• Have made a release deployment = We have released v1.0-beta for review, which will be upgraded to v1.0 on ratification from the SC.
• Evidence of usefulness through real-world use cases = we have a testimonial from the heaviest user of our product (adopters.md) and can demonstrate further adoption through the vibrant open source community contributing plugins to https://explorer.if.greensoftware.foundation.
