Binding and Non-binding Votes

...

For code modifications, patches, and R-T-C changes to svn, committers have the binding votes. However, for "ready to release" and project-procedural ASF votes, votes must come from PMC members to be considered binding.unmigrated-wiki-markup

_(Note: previously committers could vote for releases, but this has had to be changed, due to ASF regulations. While \[http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html the Apache Voting\] page is a little unclear on the subject, discussion on the 'legal-discuss' list has made it clear that it is part of the ASF's bylaws that PMCs, and only PMCs, can direct this action. See \[http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200511.mbox/%3cNBBBJGEAGJAKLIDBKJOPEELCEHAC.noel@devtech.com%3e this message\] for example.)_
