That's fine - as a RM you are free to call the vote result whenever you want after "at least" 72 hours. You are right that you would have to then include any negative votes, even if they arrived after 72 hours. Sometimes you may have a situation where a PPMC member asks you to extend the deadline to get time to review it - it's up to you if you want to honour that on a reasonable time scale (but remember "community over code"). In one case the project realized after the RC vote was passed that there was a big build issue on Windows and decided to drop the RC anyway. As an RM you can (after coordinating with list) make such decisions if needed. A positive [VOTE][RESULT] is not binding on the RM to go through with publishing - but anyone else in the PPMC could also publish those artifacts without another vote, say if the RM happen to fall ill. (This would also be the case if a non-PPMC member is the one calling the vote). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
