My impression is that voting is done on the list with +1,0,-1 =
tabulation.  That is how ballots have happened on the PPMC and it is how =
the ballots on the general@incubator are conducted.

The only case I can foresee off hand that might lead to [VOTE], if a =
[DISCUSS] does not demonstrate consensus, might be over the name of the =
project, the deliverable, and the domains of web sites once =
openoffice.org has transferred to Apache and we know the ASF policy, =
legal, and trademark constraints that have to be honored.

Is this done through a rudimentary process of +1 on mailing lists or is
there an app to perform quick polling campaings?
