The Hive ByLaws require that a release vote should remain open for at least 72 hours, so as to give people time to test. I would like, however to make allowances for the fact that this was a long weekend, and it's likely people were off on vacation. Thus, I think I will count working days to mark the cutoff time for 3 days, thus excluding yesterday and the weekend, thus making the cutoff after tomorrow night (thus allowing Friday, Tuesday and Wednesday for perusal). If I get 3 +1s and no -1s by 1:45AM Thursday May 29th (that's thursday early morning, not thursday afternoon), I will consider this vote as having passed, and continue with the remaining steps outlined in the wiki.
In this, I should also note that I skipped the end date declaration for in this vote mail as per Edward's response to my previous vote mail that said that that statement specifying end date was incorrect because a vote will remain open for as long as it has to. I see his point, and it is incorrect to assert that it concludes at 3 days, it's more that 3 days is a minimum time granted to allow people to register disapproval after testing if they desire to. That line was picked directly from the HowToRelease wiki, however, so I would suggest that the PMC clarify the rules on that and edit it appropriately.
