After a chance to discuss it (e.g. perhaps different dates,

The above was first posted Sunday, now the vote, was this enough time
to discuss things (is this the norm)? - I got here after 0.7 release.
Generally we try to allow at least 72 hours. However, if you have a
problem it can be raised during the vote.
Remember this release process is not new (it is to you, but not to
Forrest). Therefore, there should not be a need for much discussion
other than the dates.
The vote is only to ensure that the release will have the backing of the
PMC which is a requirement. Without sufficient positive and no negative
votes from the PMC the release cannot be made.
From what I understand it, there can be negative votes from the PMC, just
as long as there are more positive votes and that positive votes are
at least 3.
You are correct. According to [1] a release plan and a release are "Lazy
majority" votes, which is defined as "A lazy majority vote requires 3
binding +1 votes and more binding +1 votes than -1 votes."
Thanks for the clarification.
