[opensuse-project] membership discussion: statement from the membership officials
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. That 'passive' attribute would be in no way taking any perks from the member beside the voting, which he can re-gain anytime. 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. The goal of all of this is that the project is able to detect if an election or vote is valid, by defining that the vote needs for example a participation of more then 60% of 'active' members.
