LOL - I am.  To be honest though I haven't even looked at them.  To me 
merging in a batch of PRs related to CMake is a defacto proposal 
presupposing what CMake should be doing in the context of Boost and an 
implementation of same.

Is there already some alternative proposal to BCM in the making?

Paul Fultz made proposal about this time last year.

I think this is very important.  There's lots of things one could expect 
to use CMake for in the context of boost.  Previous discussions seem to 
spend a lot of time sorting things out among participants who have 
diverse ideas about this.  If we are going to request proposals, its 
much better to articulate what we hope to accomplish with this.  And we 
can't reach some sort of consensus on this question, proposals won't be 
comparable.  Also it's unfair to ask for proposals without specifying 
requirements.

Right now, my goal is even more modest.  Its it possible that we could 
get consensus on accepting the timeline and procedure I proposed - and 
with my being appointed to lead it?
