Remember, the vote period is a *minimum* of 72 hours to give everyone ample time to review. It doesn’t matter if you receive 3 +1 votes within 10 minutes of the vote starting. You still need to keep it open 72 hours to give people chance to vote against the release. If you haven’t received 3 +1 votes after 72 hours, you can keep it open longer if you like. Many projects make the period longer if the vote occurs over a weekend and especially if it is over a long weekend. (This weekend was Easter, and a 3 or 4 day weekend in many countries, so this particular vote may have had very little overlap with people’s working hours.) Having said that, voters should do their best to vote early. It helps the project iterate more quickly. It a negative vote is received early, the release manager might be able to cancel the vote and start a vote on a new release candidate in one working day. Also, I recommend you use Apache URLs for vote threads and results. Other archives are outside Apache’s control so are not guaranteed immutable. If you like, you can use the Apache shortener, http://s.apache.org, to convert to a more manageable URL: For example, http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-eagle-dev/201603.mbox/%3C46F16004-755D-4659-89C7-365CC4A15459%40ebay.com%3E <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-eagle-dev/201603.mbox/%3c46f16004-755d-4659-89c7-365cc4a15...@ebay.com%3E> is shortened to https://s.apache.org/eagle-0.3.0-result Julian > On Mar 28, 2016, at 8:16 AM, Dendukuri, Hemanth <hdenduk...@ebay.com> wrote: > > Sure my bad, will consider and resend. > > > > > > On 3/26/16, 7:26 PM, "Julian Hyde" <jh...@apache.org> wrote: > >> I thought you said it would be open 72 hours.
