Hi all, this is a statement from the membership officials to the current discussion and proposal about maintaining the opensuse membership[1].
The proposal suggests to re-evaluate each members' contributions every 2 years. We think that is not doable by us, even with great tools that gather information automatically, and would give us lots of discussions with members that lose their status.
We support the proposal to set a 'passive' attribute to a member that didn't vote in the board elections for 2 periods. With the possibility to get 'active' again anytime with a simple mail to us.
If one describes how a right is revoked than one should also describe how it is regained not just possibility=uncertainty
That's just a wording issue here. Change "possibility" to "ability".
That 'passive' attribute would be in no way taking any perks from the member beside the voting, which he can re-gain anytime.
if that is doable by just an email as stated above why create a job to put member in passive status and another one when he/she writes an email to regain it. If 100 people are put in to a passive status and 50 of them emails one has 150 tasks to do
The "passive" attribute would be set automatically; at least, that's my understanding. And the task of moving the status of a member from passive to active would be a single click, so it's not really hard (especially compared to "check if this member has been contributing in the last two years").
Accompanied by that we propose to add a 'none of them' option in the board elections, so that everyone can vote, even if he does not like the candidates.
Again one is tied to voting whatever the way the above is phrased. Choosing to vote or not to vote is a personal choice and should not be tied to the person being active or passive.
I'd be interested if you could elaborate on why a "none of them" option is different from not voting at all, if the personal choice is to not vote. Is it a matter of wording (would a "I don't want to vote" option be better?) or is it something else?
