Sorry but I don't understand your sentence.

I just read again the http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html and it seems that we followed the right procedure. That page does not say anything about your sentence. I don't have anything with that "rule" but you should add the rule to that page so anyone will know how VOTEs work.

This one say something different (against) your sentence: in fact once this vote has passed I understand that we could start a vote for a release and vetoes would not be applicable.

Did I understand wrong? is the voting explanation page outdated? Can you elaborate?

Thank you,
Stefano

PS: again, I don't have problem with "your rule", because I think we should not need a strict rule for voting as they are a tool to express opinions and opinions can change or anything else, but since your sentence is not clear to me wrt "apache rules" I would like to understand.
