The official vote thread permalink https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r08c0478e1ff9e03e515a1a170f6927faed2768a7dc15276e669fd236%40%3Cdev.madlib.apache.org%3E does not show Domino Valdano's +1 binding vote. But you can view all the 4 votes by navigating to either https://lists.apache.org/list.html?dev@madlib.apache.org:2021-04 or https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/madlib-dev/202104.mbox/browser and viewing the `[VOTE] MADlib v1.18.0-rc1` email thread. Alternatively you can also view the individual votes linked above in this thread. 2. The original voting thread mentioned that voting will close on April 5th, 2021 @ 00:39 UTC ( 17:39 PDT) which was a typo. It should instead have been Mon April 5th, 2021 @ 17:39 PDT / Tue April 6th, 2021 @ 00:39 UTC. Apologies for this confusion. Thanks to all for taking the time to review and vote! We will now update necessary links/files to proceed with the release. Best, Nikhil Kak
