That is always the case with any voting, its most always elective. |

However maybe active developers can abstain from voting for the entire time |
| 12 |
they are a developer and not lose membership. Most discussion is around after |
| 13 |
2 non votes you lose membership, maybe after another year, so 3 years of |
| 14 |
inactivity. |

If someone is still a developer, but has not voted in 3 years. They could |
| 17 |
still be a member of the foundation, as long as they are a developer. They |
| 18 |
could abstain from Foundation voting the entire time they are a developer, yet |
| 19 |
still have membership. |

Maybe the lose membership after 2 years of non voting plus a 3rd to be nice, |
| 22 |
should apply to "supporters" or regular foundation members who are not part of |
| 23 |
Gentoo, dev/staff/other. |

In an ideal world people want to be part of the Foundation and active there. |
| 27 |
If the Foundation helped further development and the project in general. |
