       </p><p>After vetting the nominee, the vote can be called using either 
       one of the two approaches listed below (notice the difference between 
-      private and public lists):
-      <ul>
+      private and public lists). And note that binding votes are those

         <li>
         Vote on the podling's private (PPMC) list, with notice posted to the 
         Incubator private list. The notice is a separate email forwarding 
         the vote email with a cover statement that this vote is underway 
         on the podling's private list. Many consider this approach to be 
         best practice. After completing the vote on the PPMC list, the 
-        proposer calls a vote on the Incubator PMC private list, summarizing 
+        proposer takes the results to the Incubator PMC.
+        <ul>
+        <li> if there are three binding +1 votes, and no binding -1 votes, 
+        the proposer asks for lazy consensus by the Incubator
+        PMC by sending email to the Incubator PMC private list, summarizing 
         the discussion and vote, with a reference to the archived discussion 
-        and vote threads by the PPMC. The Incubator vote is done even if
-        there are three +1 votes from Incubator PMC members during the PPMC
-        vote, in order to give all Incubator PMC members a chance to express 
-        their support or disapproval after seeing the PPMC discussion and 
-        vote results.  Note that only the Incubator PMC members can see 
+        and vote threads by the PPMC. Any member of the Incubator PMC can ACK
+        the receipt of the vote.  This starts a 72-hour window for lazy
+        consensus.  After 72 hours and no requests by any Incubator PMC member
+        for a full vote by the Incubator PMC, the committer request is
+        considered approved by the Incubator PMC and the PPMC can start 
+        the committer invitation process.
+        </li>
+        <li> if there are not three binding +1 votes in the PPMC vote, 
+        or there are any -1 votes, or if any Incubator PMC member requests 
+        a full vote, the proposer calls for a vote by the Incubator PMC.
+        Note that only the Incubator PMC members can see 
         the Incubator private discussion, and the podling's Mentors should 
         review all Incubator PMC feedback with the PPMC. Moreover, only 
         Apache members may review the private PPMC list (this is normally
         not an issue since most Incubator PMC members are Apache members).

         <p>Many projects then follow the Incubator PMC vote with a pro forma 
         vote on the public project dev list, or have a welcome thread on the 
         public dev list. These are intended to make the new committer feel 
-        welcome.</p></li>

         <li>Vote on the podling's developer list, with notice posted to the 
         Incubator general list. The notice is a separate email forwarding 
         the vote email with a cover statement that this vote is underway

-        inferior by many because it is a source of discord to have a

-      <p>Only votes cast by Incubator PMC members are binding, but votes 
-      by the PPMC are very important. The entire PPMC should show support

-      votes and no binding -1 votes), the proposer offers committership
