+New PMC Members
+---------------
+
+The process for bringing on new PMC members is not so different from the one for new committers. The process begins
+with a DISCUSS thread to the private mailing list for building consensus followed by a VOTE thread to confirm.
+Presuming the new PMC member is a committer already (which is mostly likely for TinkerPop), there should be no need for
+any additional paperwork. On successful vote however, a NOTICE should be sent to the board@apache.org (copying
+private@tinkerpop.apache.org):
+
+[source,text]
+----
+Subject [NOTICE] [name of PMC new member] for Apache TinkerPop PMC
+
+Apache TinkerPop proposes to invite [name of PMC new member] ([ApacheId]) to join the PMC.
+
+The vote result is available here:
+
+[include the link to the vote result thread from private]

+
+If the candidate does not (yet) have an Apache account, then please note that fact in the notification email. Provide
+the board 72 hours to respond with objection before extending the invite to the new PMC member. Once that time has
+elapsed, the invite may be sent to the new PMC member. If they accept, then the PMC chair should refer to the
+link:http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#newpmc[How to Add a New PMC Member] section in the Apache docs for ho to
+complete the process.
