Well then I'm glad we found the source of our confusion. In this context, I |
21 |
use the word "user" to refer to non-Gentoo-developer members, and potential |
22 |
members, if they meet the criteria for membership. You perform outreach to |
23 |
the user community and those who qualify for membership can become members, |
24 |
and those that don't qualify would not. |
25 |
|
26 |
User Representatives can also represent the needs of non-member users, but |
27 |
these non-member users would not be voting for trustees. |

I am proposing absolutely no changes to the criteria for membership in the |
30 |
Foundation. |
