NOTICE: these steps may not be completely correct

• Wiki Markup

  release manager should start a [VOTE|http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#note-votes] thread on the vcl-dev list; [this is a good example|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-stdcxx-dev/200601.mbox/%3C43C1C0A0.7040401%40roguewave.com%3E]; however, the example is missing an explicit vote block that needs to be included: \[ \] \+1 yes, release VCL W.X.Y \[ \] 0 dunno \[ \] \-1 no, don't release VCL W.X.Y (provide reasons if this is your vote)

• the release manage's vote should be posted in a separate message from the one calling for the vote

• Wiki Markup
  the VOTE thread should be ended with a reply post including \[RESULT\] in the subject; [this is a good example|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/200605.mbox/<5BDE9EBE-2645-4940-9CB9-C038E531B8A2%40gmail.com>]

• after a passing vote (must have at least three +1 votes, majority of votes must be positive), the release manager should post a message to the general at incubator.apache.org list formally requesting approval for the release and containing:
  • Links to the release artifacts
  • Links to the PPMC release vote thread
  • Link to the tag from which the release is cut
  • this is a good example
• there must be at least three +1 Incubator PMC votes to pass
