In effect something like:

The GNOME Foundation Membership Committee processes the application
based on the responses provided by the Contacts. In order to ensure
that the turnaround time for your application is less, here are a few
things to keep note of:

+ Do take time to provide complete contact details including a current e-mail ID
+ Before submitting the application you might like to talk with the
proposed contacts thus alerting them of a mail from the GNOME
Foundation Membership Committee
+ List your contributions to GNOME in detail (Hint: Nothing is too
much or trivial)
+ Please provide a valid and active e-mail ID which would be entered
into the GNOME Foundation Membership Database should your application
be favorably considered

I think so too. Clarity has no substitute.
