There is nothing wrong with educating folks on the correct acronyms but personally I really don't see that one sticking - it is too similar and longer than PMC. It's good that we already have one to use though. Reinforcing the fact that any communication that references a decision of the entire PMC requires a record of the discussion is likely more strongly aligned with what we actually need. Of course, there's nothing wrong with both.
