24 As a Foundation member, I suggest that all 10 developers listed above
25 are reinstated as Foundation members. For the developers that are
26 still active today there should be no question about this.
27
28 The retired developers were deprived of their right to vote in any
29 election. So IMHO their member status should be restored too, and the
30 "two elections rule" should be reset for them, and apply only to
31 future elections.
