Yesterday I received the Jakarta Monthly Newsletter. Interesting as always,
until I got to the section on PMC nominations. There, I suddenly found my
name listed as elected to the Jakarta PMC. This came as a complete surprise
and shock to me.

When I followed the relevant link, I discovered that a discussion had taken
place on this list, but I was not subscribed to general@jakarta (unless I'
m
mistaken, I'm not required to subscribe). At no point was a personal email
sent to myself (or I guess the others nominated). I feel as though I have
been pressganged.
actively inviting new PMC members to join is something that i think should be done.

in the same way that a developer receives a letter from apache (after a successful vote) inviting them to become a committer, i'd say that committers who have been voted onto the PMC should receive a letter explaining the role of a PMC member and asking them if they'd be willing to join.
