Looks like Grant was talking about "foundation membership" conditions |
| 22 |
and terms, which has little to do with "trustee election candidate" |
| 23 |
conditions (and term when elected). The "members" vote to designate the |
| 24 |
"trustees". |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
In the (proposed? current?) bylaws, the length of election term is set |
| 27 |
to one year (article 5 section 5). |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Also note that Article 4 defines how members are designated, and |
| 30 |
basically it means being nominated by "current members" (whatever that |
| 31 |
is), not being a self-proclaimed-interested one-year-old dev... and |
| 32 |
membership once acquired is revoked only exceptionally by a 2/3 members |
| 33 |
majority vote. |
