Thanks Justin, We were confused looking at the release guidelines on the incubator [1] doesn’t seem to call out that the required "three +1 votes are required and more +1 votes than -1 votes" should come from PPMC members. All it says is that the vote be held on the public dev list. Following the link you shared [2] only mentions PMC for regular (non-incubating projects). But looking here [3] it only seems to imply that the IPMC votes are the only ones that matter.
If it’s the Incubator's expectation that the required vote on @dev must have binding votes from PPMC, can we update [1] to clarify if that is in fact the requirement from Incubator that only PPMC votes count towards the "at least 3 +1 and more +1 than -1" requirement?

Only IPMC votes are binding, but you need three PPMC (or mentors) +1 votes on the dev list vote before bringing it to the attentions of the IPMC. Committer votes are useful (and should be encouraged) but are not binding. [1] Thanks, Justin 1. http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#binding-votes
