+      Everyone is encouraged to try and vote on HBase release candidates.
+      Only the votes of PMC members are binding.
+      PMC members, please read this WIP doc on policy voting for a release candidate,
+      <link xlink:href="https://github.com/rectang/asfrelease/blob/master/release.md">Release Policy</link>.
+      <quote>Before casting +1 binding votes, individuals are required to download the signed source code
+      package onto their own hardware, compile it as provided, and test the resulting executable on their
+      own platform, along with also validating cryptographic signatures and verifying that the package
+      meets the requirements of the ASF policy on releases.</quote>
+      Regards the latter, suggest running <command>mvn apache-rat:check</command> to verify all files
+      are suitably licensed.
