This was true for the old constitution. It is no longer true in the new, and your document is obsolete. There is no longer any such thing as Core Contributor, and the concept of one electorate per group is gone, as is the artificial distinction between governance and groups. Speaking as an OGB member, I would like to formally request that the OGB and the website team work together to articulate the impact of the new constitution on the current website, and to define a set of requirements to bring it into alignment with the new constitution. I would also like to put a stake in the ground and state that the OGB is one of the key stakeholders of the website design and expects to have a role and say in the planning and approval process for these changes. -John As a start, some of the differences are: There are only Participants, Contributors, Leaders and Facilitators. Once you have been named a Contributor, you are one for life, irregardless of whether or not you take on or drop Leadership or Facilitator roles, or if you are a Participant elsewhere. The fact of your contributing to OpenSolaris can not be taken away even if the group you were in when you contributed goes away. The new constitution intentionally restores the connection between governance and groups by making the Contributor role one that impacts both the local group and the global Electorate. Anyone who is a Contributor anywhere can choose to become a member of the single electorate group. They can also choose to resign as a member, and rejoin again if so desired; none of these actions require approval by anyone else. _______________________________________________ ogb-discuss mailing list ogb-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/ogb-discuss
