Standard definition for Alpha, Beta, RC, and Release

Does the PMC have standard definitions Alpha, Beta, Release Candidate,
and Release? If so, then what are they?  Specifically I am looking for
the difference relative to:
   o Overall stability
   o Enhancement to Functionality
   o Commitment to maintain Functionality
   o Enhancement to API used by a user's application
   o Commitment to maintain API used by user's application
   o Upgradability

No. It is up to the individual projects to decide that.
