I'm thinking that we can make life easier for new committers if secretary can give more explicit instructions.
Instead of "if you have been invited as a committer..." "It appears that you have been invited as a committer for <project>. However, your ICLA does not have a valid requested id. Please choose an id... and forward this message (you can reply all) to the project, including your chosen id." This message would be generated in response to receiving an ICLA where secretary finds an invitation (perhaps the sender forwarded the invitation email). Secretary would fill the project and vote fields and leave id field blank. WDYT? Craig L Russell c...@apache.org
