During Beam's incubation, we held a 72 hour vote of the Beam PPMC on [email protected] and then after than held a 72 hour vote of the IPMC on [email protected]. If three mentors vote +1 as part of the PPMC on [email protected] then you already have the votes to pass IPMC vote. But the 72 period may still be important since other IPMC members may -1 for a good reason that needs to be fixed.
At the level of the foundation, my understanding (I am not a lawyer) is that a vote by a top level PMC makes the release an act of the foundation. So you need the IPMC vote for that. I suggest checking the [email protected] archives for discussions.
