+# Inviting New Committers and PMC Members
+
+This is a cookbook of the recommended DataFusion specific process for inviting
+new committers and PMC members. It is intended to follow the [Apache Project
+Management Committee guidelines], which takes precedence over this document if
+there is a conflict.
+
+This process is intended for PMC members. While the process is open, the actual
+discussions and invitations are not (one of the very few things that we do not
+do in the open).
+
+When following this process, in doubt, check the 
`priv...@datafusion.apache.org`
+[mailing list archive] for examples of previous emails.
+
+The general process is:
+
+1. A PMC member starts a discussion on `priv...@datafusion.apache.org`
+   about a candidate they feel should be considered who would use the 
additional
+   trust granted to a committer or PMC member to help the community grow and 
thrive.
+2. When consensus is reached a formal [vote] occurs
+3. Assuming the vote is successful, that person is granted the appropriate
+   access via ASF systems.
+
+[apache project management committee guidelines]: 
https://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html
+[mailing list archive]: 
https://lists.apache.org/list.html?d...@datafusion.apache.org
+[vote]: https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting
+
+## New Committers
+
+### Step 1: Start a Discussion Thread
+
+The goal of this step is to allow free form discussion prior to calling a vote.
+This helps the other PMC members understand why you are proposing to invite the
+person to become a committer and makes the voting process easier.
+
+Best practice is to include some details about why you are proposing to invite
+the person. Here is an example:
+
+```
+To: priv...@datafusion.apache.org
+Subject: [DISCUSS] $PERSONS_NAME for Committer
+
+$PERSONS_NAME has been an active contributor to the Datafusion community for 
the
+last 6 months[1][2], helping others, answering questions, and improving the
+project's code.
+
+Are there any thoughts about inviting $PERSONS_NAME to become a committer?
+
+Thanks,
+Your Name
+
+[1]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues?q=commenter%3A<github id>
+[2]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/commits?author=<github id>
+```
+
+### Step 2: Formal Vote
+
+Assuming the discussion thread goes well, start a formal vote, with an email 
like:
+
+```
+To: priv...@datafusion.apache.org
+Subject: [VOTE] $PERSONS_NAME for DataFusion Committer
+I propose to invite $PERSONS_NAME to be a committer. See discussion here [1].
+
+[ ] +1 : Invite $PERSONS_NAME to become a committer
+[ ] +0: ...
+[ ] -1: I disagree because ...
+
+The vote will be open for at least 48 hours.
+
+My vote: +1
+
+Thanks,
+Your Name
+
+[1] LINK TO DISCUSSION THREAD (e.g. 
https://lists.apache.org/thread/7rocc026wckknrjt9j6bsqk3z4c0g5yf)
+```
+
+If the vote passes (requires 3 `+1`, and no `-1` voites) , send a result email
+like the following (substitute `N` with the number of `+1` votes)
+
+```
+to: priv...@datafusion.apache.org
+subject: [RESULT][VOTE] $PERSONS_NAME for DataFusion Committer
+
+The vote carries with N +1 votes.
+```
+
+### Step 3: Send Invitation to the Candidate
+
+Once the vote on `private@` has passed and the `[RESULT]` e-mail sent, send an
+invitation to the new committer and cc: `priv...@datafusion.apache.org`
+
+In order to be given write access, the committer needs an apache.org account 
(e.g. `n...@apache.org`). To get one they need:
+
+1. An [ICLA] on file. Note that Sending an ICLA to `secret...@apache.org` will 
trigger account creation. If they already have an ICLA on file, but no Apache 
account, see instructions below.
+2. Add GitHub username to the account at [id.apache.org](http://id.apache.org/)
+3. Connect [gitbox.apache.org] to their GitHub account
+4. Follow the instructions at [gitbox.apache.org] to link your GitHub account 
with your
+
+[gitbox.apache.org]: https://gitbox.apache.org
+
+If the new committer is already a committer on another Apache project (so they
+already had an Apache account), The PMC Chair (or an ASF member) simply needs 
to
+explicitly add them to the roster on the [Whimsy Roster Tool].
+
+### Step 4: Announce and Celebrate the New Committer
+
+Email to Send an email such as the following to
+[d...@datafusion.apache.org](mailto:d...@datafusion.apache.org]) to celebrate 
and
+acknowledge the new committer to the community.
+
+```
+To: d...@datafusion.apache.org
+Subject: [ANNOUNCE] New DataFusion committer: $NEW_COMMITTER
+
+On behalf of the DataFusion PMC, I'm happy to announce that $NEW_COMMITTER
+has accepted an invitation to become a committer on Apache
+DataFusion. Welcome, and thank you for your contributions!

+
+## Email Templates for Inviting New Committers
+
+### Committers WITHOUT an Apache account and WITHOUT ICLA on file
+
+You can check here to see if someone has an Apache account: 
http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html
+
+If you aren't sure whether someone has an ICLA on file, ask the DataFusion PMC
+chair or an ASF Member to check [The ICLA file list].
+
+[the icla file list]: https://whimsy.apache.org/officers/unlistedclas.cgi
+
+```
+To: $EMAIL
+Cc: priv...@datafusion.apache.org
+Subject: Invitation to become an DataFusion Committer
+
+Dear $NEW_COMMITTER,
+
+The DataFusion Project Management Committee (PMC) hereby offers you
+committer privileges to the project. These privileges are offered on
+the understanding that you'll use them reasonably and with common
+sense. We like to work on trust rather than unnecessary constraints.
+
+Being a committer enables you to merge PRs to DataFusion git repositories.
+
+Being a committer does not require you to participate any more than
+you already do. It does tend to make one even more committed. You will
+probably find that you spend more time here.
+
+Of course, you can decline and instead remain as a contributor,
+participating as you do now.
+
+A. This personal invitation is a chance for you to accept or decline
+in private. Either way, please let us know in reply to the
+priv...@datafusion.apache.org address only.
+
+B. If you accept, the next step is to register an ICLA:
+
+Details of the iCLA and how to submit them are found through this link:
+https://www.apache.org/licenses/contributor-agreements.html#clas
+
+When you transmit the completed ICLA, request to notify Apache
+DataFusion and choose a unique Apache id. Look to see if your preferred id
+is already taken at http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html This
+will allow the Secretary to notify the PMC when your ICLA has been
+recorded.
+
+Once you are notified that your Apache account has been created, you must then:
+
+1. Add your GitHub username to your account at id.apache.org
+
+2. Follow the instructions at gitbox.apache.org to link your GitHub account
+with your Apache account.
+
+You will then have write (but not admin) access to the DataFusion repositories.
+If you have questions or run into issues, please reply-all to this e-mail.
+```
+
+After the new account has been created, you can announce the new committer on 
`dev@`
+
+### Committers WITHOUT an Apache account but WITH an ICLA on file
+
+In this scenario, an officer (the project VP or an Apache Member) needs only to
+request an account to be created for the new committer, since through the
+ordinary process the ASF Secretary will do it automatically. This is done at
+https://whimsy.apache.org/officers/acreq. Before requesting the new account,
+send an e-mail to the new committer (cc'ing `private@`) like this:
+
+```
+To: $EMAIL
+Cc: priv...@datafusion.apache.org
+Subject: Invitation to become a DataFusion Committer
+
+Dear $NEW_COMMITTER,
+
+The DataFusion Project Management Committee (PMC) hereby offers you
+committer privileges to the project. These privileges are offered on

+
+This personal invitation is a chance for you to accept or decline
+in private. Either way, please let us know in reply to the
+priv...@datafusion.apache.org address only. We will have to request an
+Apache account be created for you, so please let us know what user id
+you would prefer.
+
+Once you are notified that your Apache account has been created, you must then:
+
+1. Add your GitHub username to your account at id.apache.org
+
+2. Follow the instructions at gitbox.apache.org to link your GitHub account
+with your Apache account.
+
+You will then have write (but not admin) access to the DataFusion repositories.
+If you have questions or run into issues, please reply-all to this e-mail.
+```
+
+### Committers WITH an existing Apache account
+
+In this scenario, an officer (the project PMC Chair or an ASF Member) can 
simply add
+the new committer on the [Whimsy Roster Tool]. Before doing this, e-mail the 
new
+committer inviting them to be a committer like so (cc private@):
+
+```
+To: $EMAIL
+Cc: priv...@datafusion.apache.org
+Subject: Invitation to become a DataFusion Committer
+
+Dear $NEW_COMMITTER,
+
+The DataFusion Project Management Committee (PMC) hereby offers you

Review Comment:
   I think the prettier formatter does this lower casing. I'll apply these 
changes but I suspect it will be updated back by prettier

+
+### Step 2: Formal Vote
+
+Assuming the discussion thread goes well, start a formal vote with an email 
like:
+
+```
+To: priv...@datafusion.apache.org
+Subject: [VOTE] $NEW_PMC_MEMBER for PMC
+
+I propose inviting $NEW_PMC_MEMBER to join the DataFusion PMC. We previously

+
+### Step 3: Send Notice to ASF Board
+
+The DataFusion PMC Chair then sends a NOTICE to `bo...@apache.org` (cc'ing

+FYI: Full vote details:
+$VOTE_URL
+```
+
+### Step 4: Send invitation email
+
+Once, the PMC chair has confirmed that the email sent to `bo...@apache.org` has
+made it to the archives, the Chair sends an invitation e-mail to the new PMC
+member (cc'ing `private@`) like this:
+
+```
+To: $EMAIL
+Cc: priv...@datafusion.apache.org
+Subject: Invitation to join the DataFusion PMC
+Dear $NEW_PMC_MEMBER,
+
+In recognition of your demonstrated commitment to, and alignment with, the
+goals of the Apache DataFusion project, the DataFusion PMC has voted to offer 
you
+membership in the DataFusion PMC ("Project Management Committee").
+
+Please let us know if you accept by subscribing to the private alias [by
+sending mail to private-subscr...@datafusion.apache.org], and posting
+a message to priv...@datafusion.apache.org.
+
+The PMC is for every top-level project is tasked by the Apache Board of
+Directors with official oversight and binding votes in that project.
+
+As a PMC member, you are responsible for continuing the general project, code,
+and community oversight that you have exhibited so far. The votes of the PMC
+are legally binding.
+
+All PMC members are subscribed to the project's private mail list, which is
+used to discuss issues unsuitable for an open, public forum, such as people
+issues (e.g. new committers, problematic community members, etc.), security
+issues, and the like. It can't be emphasized enough that care should be taken
+to minimize the use of the private list, discussing everything possible on the
+appropriate public list.
+
+The private PMC list is *private* - it is strictly for the use of the
+PMC. Messages are not to be forwarded to anyone else without the express
+permission of the PMC. Also note that any Member of the Foundation has the
+right to review and participate in any PMC list, as a PMC is acting on behalf
+of the Membership.
+
+Finally, the PMC is not meant to create a hierarchy within the committership or
+the community. Therefore, in our day-to-day interactions with the rest of the
+community, we continue to interact as peers, where every reasonable opinion is
+considered, and all community members are invited to participate in our public
+voting. If there ever is a situation where the PMC's view differs significantly
+from that of the rest of the community, this is a symptom of a problem that
+needs to be addressed.
+
+With the expectation of your acceptance, welcome!

Review Comment:
   I think this is meant to convey that the new PMC member accepted the 
invitation rather than that another group accepted the PMC member
