I would have no problem if a member does not say a single word to anyone
else, but simply produces on
his own time. And although it doesn't say 24/7 access, in my opinion that
is implied.
BTW I can't find the bylaws on the website, can you point me in the right
direction.

If full membership cannot guarantee you 24/7 access than it is no longer a
full membership, call it something else then.

As much as I am aware of this procedure, the discussion is taking place
right before opening day, where we will most likely
have member recruitment, what is our message to them? Full member will
maybe get you 24 hour access?
Also what about the members that signed up as full members and expect to
have 24 hr access? Will we no longer honor their
expectations? This discussion comes at a very inopportune time and at
least we will need to be on message for the 5th.
