Hi Community, I would like to call for action to test/validate/vote for the release candidate (1.7.0.rc0) As there's not any voting result during the scheduled time window, I would like to extend the time windows to July 13, 23:59:59 PST. Please prepare your time and provide feedback if you've tried with the pre-release code bases, thanks!

Voting will start July 6, 23:59:59 PST and close on July 9, 23:59:59 PST. Link to release notes: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/1.7.0+Release+notes Link to release candidate: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/releases/tag/1.7.0.rc0 Link to source and signatures on apache dist server: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/mxnet/1.7.0.rc0<https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/mxnet/1.7.0.rc0/> Please remember to TEST first before voting accordingly: +1 = approve +0 = no opinion -1 = disapprove (provide reason) Additional notes: * There was an issue and discussion[1] regarding on a few numpy operators failed due to numpy 1.19.0 released on Jun 20, 2020, which exists in all branches (works with numpy <= 1.18.5). As numpy operator is still an experimental feature in 1.7.0 release and mainly targeting in MXNet 2.0 release, so I decided to not block the voting and instead let the Community decide whether this is a blocker for the release.
