Oh, yes, there is that draft. Obviously, the point at which you take
off the "draft" needs to be before the vote - which needs to be sooner
rather than later if we're going to have a definite result in time
(the Foundation is registered in Florida, after all! ;)).

Incidentally, what contact have you had with CC about how they
interpret the license? Particularly regarding the "attribution by
reference" issue.
