The committer/PMC voting process [1] is out of date, as it still mentions the ACK e-mail rather than NOTICE.
Also, the process appears to suggest that the invite is sent to the prospective new PMC member before the NOTICE period has elapsed. That is not ideal. If there were ever a NAK from the board it would be too late to cancel the invite. This does mean that occasionally the board may be notified of an invite that is later refused, but that seems better than the alternative. The page ought to agree with the main site [2], [3] Not sure who is entitled to update the Community pages?
