Perhaps the connection should expire after a year. > My suggestion would be to follow Ubuntu's foot steps by expiring annually but allowing people to renew in Mozillians.org. In Ubuntu we have "Membership" and each year it expires but you can login to Launchpad and tick to renew for another year. This should be easy to add as a feature to Mozillians.org Maybe add a e-mail group or something with auto-expiring membership heck it might make sense to offer a auto-expiration feature for all groups on Mozillians.org to ensure only active contributors are in groups? > > > It seems like timeliness of the vouching must play a role here.

I suggest we create a group on Mozillians.org and add a auto-expire feature and renew membership feature to the platform that all group admins can choose to enable. People wanting a e-mail can join the group and it will be administered by the POC for adding email accounts. In order to join the group a Mozillian much have been vouched. -- Benjamin Kerensa Mozilla Rep http://mozillausa.org _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
