(voted on February 26, 2010)

Committers are nominated on the private mailing list. A public announcement is sent only after the vote has passed. To keep the process transparent for the other members of the community (i.e. non committers), the PMC decided to formalize the announcement to be sent to the public mailing list.

Here is the process:

1. Nomination on private@axis.apache.org.
2. Discussion and vote on private@axis.apache.org.
3. Assuming success, invitation goes out privately to <nominee>.
4. Assuming acceptance, announcement goes out to dev list and general@axis.apache.org.
