Really should just be 2, Developers and Users. Both can be foundation members. |

It does not makes sense to have Foundation members who are neither a developer |
| 12 |
or user. What interest would it be of theirs and why should they have say is |
| 13 |
something they do not use or contribute to? |

Developers and staff should not have to apply for membership. They should |
| 16 |
automatically be members as part of being a developer or staff member. It |
| 17 |
should only be users and/or outsiders, companies, that apply for membership. |

This may need to be modified. |

That does not mean developers have to be active or part of the foundation, |
| 24 |
vote or otherwise, just automatic membership. Rather than automatic exclusion |
| 25 |
and having to apply to be a member despite vested interest via contributions. |
