Yes, Herb, thank you. I would call it step 4. Announce final-draft release-candidate to the main OK list (and assume there will likely be some questions / feedback to consider), and step 5 is then the final release.
That definitely captures my concerns in a nice formal way, and if that model becomes the model for similar projects, I think we will be much better going forward.
