That the way it’s been explained to me, several times, by experienced ASF people, that only PMC votes are binding on releases and podlings are not mentioned in the ASF bylaws. Bylaw wise see section 6.3. But you're right, it would be more precise to say, it's a combination of 6.3 of the bylaws of the ASF and the ASF's policy on voting on releases.

I’ve done far more than just propose possibilities. If that is not evident on this list I suggest you read the last dozen incubator board reports for evidence. Is it just that’s the conclusion is not what you want or is it that it moving slower than you would like? Consensus in the IPMC is sometimes hard to reach, but don’t you think is worth trying to do that and engage in dialogue, rather than talking what seems on face value to me a rather combative position?
