That's there already ...
Eligibility to vote is determined by membership of the
standardisation group on the 1st of July of the appropriate year.
(Elections take place in late August)
The above sounds sufficient to me. What was the previous poster worried
about? A large number of people joining the list two months ahead of
time in order to vote?
Yes, in part, but if the group doesn't think vote-packing is a big enough
problem to worry about, I'll drop it. However, there's also the reverse
problem -- people may be reading through archive or gateway services,
instead of being subscribed directly, and we shouldn't disenfranchise those
people.
Having a single "magic date" also concerns me; what if for some reason you
are not subscribed on that date? A time range works better, IMHO.
