Thanks Konstantin and Qingsheng for kicking off and pushing forward the discussion.
Thanks Qingsheng, Jing, Konstantin, Sergey, Yun for volunteering to release manager candidates, 4 release manager from different timezones make sense to me, it brings better coordination for globalization community contributors. About the feature freeze date , I also propose the middle of July is better as we can preserve a buffer for special case just like we did in release 1.17 cycle. Btw, I’m willing to provide help in 1.18 release cycle not as release manager too，please ping me if you need help.
