Pretty sure this is it :) I thought about mentioning that, but then
that's just creating another list. When this one pretty much exists
already for that purpose. So it's mostly a matter of making sure those
on the member roster are also signed up to the -nfp mailing lists.

Granted some have stated they don't want to be members. But those that
are members. We can surely impose the requirement to be on -nfp. Almost
have direct control over that via infra :). Short of them removing
themselves, us adding them back, so on and so forth. :(

Yeah, that's the ideal way to go for any group actions 10% or more of
the members would like to see the foundation take or act upon. Meeting
or not, but likely would be decided upon at a meeting. Indirect call for
a meeting either way.

But I am with you, I like to think of myself as creative. But have
little to no thoughts atm how we could go about an electronic petition.
What happens when I go into business mode from creative and
development :(
