[Incubator] motion: accept blink as a community project

I think you may have mixed Incubation and Community Project. Blink is 
not applying for Incubation, the motion is about listing them as a 
community project.

I think Blink should resubmit itself for OSGeo incubation once it has some of the properties that OSGeo desires for incubating projects. These include a compatible project governance model and significant contributions from more than one primary contributor or organization.
