16 Agreed. That was not the intent. We do need a time out of some sort or
17 the sheer numbers of inactive members will make it impossible to get

26 I'm a little uncomfortable with that as it would mean identifying votes
27 with individuals. Not publicly but that information would have to be
28 knowable if membership were tied to voting.
29 What about having retired devs apply for membership annually ?
30 The idea here being able to keep individual votes secret.

32 I certainly don't want to forcibly retire active foundation members.
