The Apache guidelines do not cover a vote on a release plan, but the Apache DB site does: "Lazy majority decides each issue in a release plan." Again, according to I think "lazy majority" in this context refers to lazy concensus, which is an alternative to voting; see http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#LazyConsensus . <>http://db.apache.org/decisions.html distinguishes lazy consensus (vetoable) versus lazy majority (majority wins). http://db.apache.org/decisions.html, the binding votes are cast by committers. Am I missing anything? Probably it's time to discuss clarifying the DB PMC docs with the DB PMC. Since you're on the DB PMC, I'd encourage you to go ahead and initiate that discussion. I agree, and I will do that. -- Michelle
