Some definitions |
| 2 |
- All devs are staff |
| 3 |
- All staff are foundation members |
| 4 |
- All foundation members are staff |
| 5 |
- All foundation members are voting |
| 6 |
- You can be staff without being a dev (forum, bugs, irc) |
| 7 |
- Foundation membership is automatically revoked if you miss two |
| 8 |
Foundation elections (not sure if this needs to change) |

Proposal |
| 11 |
- All prospective staff must apply to be Foundation members, allowing |
| 12 |
for final approval by the trustees as is the current policy. Anyone not |
| 13 |
accepted will not be given staff membership. |
| 14 |
- Any Foundation membership granted as a result of a staff position is |
| 15 |
lost when the position as staff is concluded. |
| 16 |
- Any staff that is kicked or leaves during a ComRel incident may |
| 17 |
appeal their incident with the appropriate body. They will either |
| 18 |
retain or lose both staff and foundation membership simultaneously. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Knock on effects |
| 21 |
- May need to modify staff quiz. Developers already take this so will |
| 22 |
automatically satisfy this requirement. Positive CoC acknowledgement |
| 23 |
should be included in the staff quiz. |
| 24 |
- By equating staff and Foundation membership we may have to change the |
| 25 |
retirement criteria for staff. |
| 26 |
- Staff will have to vote in Foundation elections. |
| 27 |
- Staffers who are not devs do not belong to a project |
| 28 |
- projects could be made |
| 29 |

Questions |
| 31 |
- Do staff get gentoo.org email addresses? |
| 32 |
- I do not think it’s necessary |
| 33 |
(limits our liability (email addresses could be considered as loosing |
| 34 |
property rights as mentioned elsewhere in one of these threads...), maybe) |
