Current bylaws state that to become a member you need to petition the |
2 |
trustees for membership to the foundation. What verification is done by |
3 |
trustees is up in the air. Members also seem to be members for life |
4 |
unless they remove themselves are are removed by a vote of the trustees. |

I suggest we use and/or modify the existing staff quiz for use as a |
7 |
guide for who to admit, as 'graded' by trustees. I also suggest that |
8 |
some for of positive acknowledgement that they will adhere to the CoC |
9 |
would be helpful as well. |

Now, some have floated the idea that the foundation membership is |
12 |
somewhat defunct, and that may be the case. Personally I think it |
13 |
should be reaffirmed each year (or some other time period that is agreed |
14 |
upon). But to 'clean' it up I think we should ask the existing members |
15 |
to at least agree to the CoC, and possibly also be staff. |

17 |
It's also been suggested that the foundation (active) membership is |
18 |
waning, so once / if we decide on an update to the membership policy I |
19 |
think we should mail the lists petitioning for memebers (-dev -project |
20 |
and maybe some others) |
21 |
|
22 |
The above would be an update to the bylaws and I want feedback before I |
23 |
propose it as an update. |
