How about proposing vote for 5days and give chance to RM for extending vote for 2more days( total to 7days) if the rc did not receive enough vote within 5days? If a rc received enough votes in 5days, RM can close vote. I can see an advantage of 7days voting is, that will cover all the week and weekend days. So, if someone wants to test on weekend time(due to the weekday schedules), that will give chance to them.

Currently, it just takes too long to turn around releases; particularly if we have critical security fixes etc. Thoughts? thanks, Arun -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE NOTICE: This message is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, privileged and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
