I thought I checked this, but maybe I had no problem accessing them via the web because it's my account. Chmod'ed the files all public just to be sure. Note no signatures, version number is wrong, etc. I was just trying to make sure I didn't miss something generating the files. The candidate I post a vote for will be a real candidate. > The only problem I see with a 72-hour vote, is that the bylaws of the DB > PMC[1] require at least 7 days, unless a majority of the PMC members > have voted +1 (or -1) before that: > > The minimum and default requirement for a passing vote is simple > majority of PMC members casting ballots.

I'm hoping to get consensus earlier rather than later, and to avoid publishing an announcement near a weekend. So, I will amend my plan. Last call is still this Friday, build and vote posted then or on the weekend, with the vote closing Monday, May 12 and announcement shortly thereafter. Please let me know if anyone feels they need more time. Thanks, andrew
