From:
http://apache.org/foundation/voting.html

Votes on procedural issues follow the common format of majority rule 
unless otherwise stated. That is, if there are more favourable votes than 
unfavorable ones, the issue is considered to have passed.


For the most part, there are only two votes where a -1 is a veto:

1) Code modifications - the -1 must also have a technical reason for the 
veto.

2) In the Incubator, the iPMC can "veto" a release.   Like a code 
modification, there should be a technical reason that the podling should 
fix to turn the -1 into a +1.    Out of the incubator, a release isn't 
veto-able.


Enjoy!
