+============================
+Release Verification Process
+============================
+
+This page provides detailed information on the steps followed to perform
+a release verification on the major platforms.
+
+Principles
+==========
+
+The Apache Arrow Release Approval process follows the guidelines defined at the
+`Apache Software Foundation Release Approval 
<https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#release-approval>`_.
+
+For a release vote to pass, a minimum of three positive binding votes and more
+positive binding votes than negative binding votes MUST be cast.
+Releases may not be vetoed. Votes cast by PMC members are binding, however,
+non-binding votes are greatly encouraged and a sign of a healthy project.
+
+Running the release verification
+================================
+
+Linux and macOS
+---------------
+
+In order to run the verification script either for the source release or the
+binary artifacts see the following guidelines:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   # this will create and automatically clean up a temporary directory for the 
verification environment and will run the source verification
+   TEST_DEFAULT=0 TEST_SOURCE=1 verify-release-candidate.sh $VERSION $RC_NUM
+   
+   # this will create and automatically clean up a temporary directory for the 
verification environment and will run the binary verification
+   TEST_DEFAULT=0 TEST_BINARIES=1 dev/release/verify-release-candidate.sh 
$VERSION $RC_NUM
+   
+   # to verify only certain implementations use the TEST_DEFAULT=0 and TEST_* 
variables
+   # here are a couple of examples, but see the source code for the available 
options
+   TEST_DEFAULT=0 TEST_CPP=1 verify-release-candidate.sh $VERSION $RC_NUM  # 
only C++ tests
+   TEST_DEFAULT=0 TEST_CPP=1 TEST_PYTHON=1 verify-release-candidate.sh 
$VERSION $RC_NUM  # C++ and Python tests
+   TEST_DEFAULT=0 TEST_INTEGRATION_CPP=1 TEST_INTEGRATION_JAVA=1 
verify-release-candidate.sh $VERSION $RC_NUM  # C++ and Java integration tests
+   
+   # to verify certain binaries use the TEST_* variables as:
+   TEST_DEFAULT=0 TEST_WHEELS=1 verify-release-candidate.sh $VERSION $RC_NUM  
# only Wheels
+   TEST_DEFAULT=0 TEST_APT=1 verify-release-candidate.sh $VERSION $RC_NUM  # 
only APT packages
+   TEST_DEFAULT=0 TEST_YUM=1 verify-release-candidate.sh $VERSION $RC_NUM  # 
only YUM packages
+   TEST_DEFAULT=0 TEST_JARS=1 verify-release-candidate.sh $VERSION $RC_NUM  # 
only JARS
+
+Windows
+-------
+
+In order to run the verification script on Windows you have to download
+the source tarball from the SVN dist system that you wish to verify:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   dev\release\verify-release-candidate.bat %VERSION% %RC_NUM%
+
+System Configuration Instructions
+=================================
+
+You will need some tools installed like curl, git, etcetera.
+
+Ubuntu 22.04
+------------
+
+You might have to install some packages on your system. The following
+packages were required to perform a source verification on a clean
+Ubuntu 22.04 from an AWS instance:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   sudo apt update
+
+   # Install miscellanious required packages
+   sudo apt install \
+      build-essential \
+      clang \
+      cmake \
+      libsqlite3-dev \
+      libssh-dev \
+      libyaml-dev \
+      llvm-dev \
+      python3-dev \
+      python3.10-venv
+
+   # Install ruby

Review Comment:
   > FYI: We can use 
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/dev/release/setup-ubuntu.sh for this 
section.
   
   You mean telling people to use `setup-ubuntu.sh` or as a base for this? 
Currently with the last commit I had a source verification successful and I 
plan to modify the documentation later a little to document only source 
verification to try and make the process simpler.
