This process may take a few days." I'd like to put a finer point on this since any foundation member can simply ask to be added. VPs of PMCs are not automatically foundation members. Though many VPs of PMCs also happen to be foundation members, they were voted in by the foundation membership after a foundation member nomination. Regards, Alan
