Hi Cat
Thanks for getting involved and the positive thoughts! Great to increase
connections with DHN too.
Just wanted to clarify, there's different notions of "membership" in HOT. In
our Bylaws, we have "Voting Members", who go through a nomination process, and
have certain defined rights, among them voting for the Board. The greater
community of "HOT People" are referred to in the HOT Code of Conduct as
"Associates", though we aren't quite happy with that word either. "Members"
makes sense as a label for anyone who commits themselves to HOT, but there's
confusion with the term "Voting Members", those who take on an additional level
of responsibility in the org. Certainly something to look at as well in the
Bylaws discussions.
For reference, this is the HOT Code, which all Voting Members will accept, and
which HOT Associates are also encouraged to understand and use to guide their
actions.
