Recent edits to [1] have made the process of adding a PPMC member confusing. Previously, the instructions said to 1) forward the initial vote message to the IPMC, 2) invite the member upon a successful vote, and 3) send a note to the IPMC announcing the new member with the message ID of the vote result.
Now the page also says there is a 72 hour waiting period before you can invite the member. This doesn't make sense, because the instructions say to send the vote result to the IPMC _after_ inviting the member. Is the addition of the waiting period correct? If so, we should change the instructions to have a clear ordering: forward initial vote, forward vote result, wait 72 hours, invite the new member. I'll be happy to make the changes to the instructions, but I want to make sure I'm clarifying them correctly. [1]: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html
