 Hi New Full Committer,
 
-The other committers and I would like to offer you full commit access
-to Subversion.
-
-If you already have partial commit access, you can accept this offer
-by simply replying to this mail.  We'll update the COMMITTERS file (or
-you can do it yourself, that's fine too).
-
-If you do not already have partial commit access, you can accept this
-offer by replying to this mail and following the instructions at
-<http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html#cla>.  A temporary
-password will be chosen for you and revealed via email.  Once you are
-notified that your account has been created, you are encouraged to
-modify the COMMITTERS file appropriately, which also serves as a test
-of your new username and password.
+The other PMC members and I would like to invite you to join the Subversion
+Project Management Committee (PMC).  The PMC is the managing body of the
+Subversion development and user communities.  For more information, see
+<http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#pmc> and
+<http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#faq>
+
+You can accept this offer by simply replying to this mail.  If you do not
+already have an account with the Apache Software Foundation, please follow
+the instructions at <http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html#cla>.
+A temporary password will be chosen for you and revealed via email.
 
 Please remember to subscribe to the private (PMC) mailing list by
 emailing <private-subscribe{AT}subversion.apache.org>.
 
-Remember that you can still post patches for review before committing,
-when you want to.  Commit access just means that you can rely on your
-own judgment to decide when something is ready for commit.  Also, if
-you haven't done so already, please read
+While PMC membership comes with full commit privileges to the Subversion
+repository, we trust you use your judgement in determining what areas
+of the repository you are qualified to commit to.  Until you feel comfortable
+in the code base, you should still post patches for review before committing.
+Commit access just means that you can rely on your own judgment to decide
