Yes, that's my proposal.
I believe "grandfathered" needs much more definition. Grandfathered members that have remained or are currently active are definitely entitled to a full voice at voting time, not 50%.
Certainly. Grandfathered status would be for those who were contacted and did not respond. Currently active members would be added to the "2012 Member" status. Though as I thought about this a bit more driving home yesterday, it occurred to me that it may make more sense to tie this to the release schedule. If someone was active in the release of 11.4, for example, then their status stays active until 11.4 becomes EOL - unless they contributed to 12.1, in which case the status would roll forward to EOL of 12.1 (and so on).
Other than this particular, I agree that membership is not just something to have and hold! It must first be entitled and then maintained via *some* activities.
That helps bring value to membership, and I think that's something that is missing from the current membership strategy.
