But on the other hand it also would be worth to think, if this is needed at all. The only case where it's really relevant is if a quorum needs to be met for a vote. The only quorum amongst members we have is for a forced reelection of the board. So this might be more difficult, if there are a lot of inactive members. This might be or or not be worth the effort to "inactivate" members.
But in any case, please keep it simple and inviting.
I agree with this with one exception, that voting is not a requirement to be an "active" member. Activity and ability to contact is necessary. You are making it mandatory for members to vote and that was not in the original definition, ie: identifies with the guiding principles and contributes.
I agree with Patrick's point voting cannot be a must. Think this way if you don't vote in the elections do you loose your citizenship no. One has a right to vote but to vote or not to vote can not be basis of membership Togan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
