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 with=
in 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 week=
day schedules), that will give chance to them.=20

Regards,
Uma

Folks,

 I'd like to propose we change our by-laws to reduce our voting periods on =
new releases from 7 days to 5.

 Currently, it just takes too long to turn around releases; particularly if=
 we have critical security fixes etc.

 Thoughts?

thanks,
Arun
