+### CPC Review Process
 
-In addition to being an [Active OpenJS Collaborator][], the PR to add a Regular member is approved when:
+- Pending requests will be sent to the private CPC mailing list prior to the review meeting
+- In the context of the lazy consensus process, the pending request list is a proposal to accept
+  all of the requests. CPC members may raise any objections before the scheduled meeting,
+  otherwise a final decision to approve a request can be confirmed in the meeting.
+- If any requests are rejected, an email with the rejected requests will be sent to the private
+  CPC mailing list and CPC members will have 2 days to object before the decision is confirmed.
+
+### Approved
+
+* The CPC will create a pull request adding your name to the Regular member list in the [README.md][README].
+* The OpenJS Foundation Operations <[email protected]> team will:
+   * Add the member to the GitHub `cpc-regular-members` [team][cpc regular members team]
+   * Add the member to the `cpc-private` email list
+* The CPC Chair or Vice-Chair will introduce the new member at the next CPC meeting. 
 
-* There are no outstanding objections
-* There are two or more approvals by voting CPC members
-* The PR has been opened for at least 1 week
 
-Once a PR is ready to be landed, the CPC member who lands the pull request should:
+### Not Approved
 
-* Send a notification to the project contacts for the project identified in the PR indicating that a new Regular CPC member has joined the CPC on behalf of the project.
-* Contact OpenJS Foundation Operations <[email protected]> and let them know we have a new Regular CPC Member:
-   * Operations will add the member to the github `cpc-regular-members` [team][cpc regular members team]
-   * Operations will add the member to the `cpc-private` email list
-* Introduce the new member at the next CPC meeting.
+* If you are not approved you will be notified privately via email.
