Hm. Sounds like it'd be trivial to ballot-stuff undetectably. I'd still
prefer manual approval, myself, a la Ubuntu's Community Council.

Can we assume that you are assuming responsibility for setting up and
maintaining the community council and membership records mechanism?

Community_council == slobs current, and one week/month/whatever before
election we freeze the membership list (hosted on-wiki as it is currently),
then the SLOBs glance through the list making sure that everybody's
qualified to be on the list.

Low-tech, and better yet, already implemented. (sans the freezing)

Current policy:

I don't know who is staffing members at sugarlabs dot org, but we already
have a process and criteria for membership. Not sure how that's run
currently, however.

Ok thanks,
Will you serve on the membership committee and verify that the list is
created and forwarded to slob by a freeze date?  What would be a reasonable
date by which to have this list ready?

We can forward members@ to you.

How about this:

Before *September 1st, 2009*, new member requests can be sent to members at
sugarlabs dot org if they are not listed on
[[Sugar_Labs/Initial_Members_List]]http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Initial_Members_Listalready.
It should contain the following:

   - Wiki/dev/irc username
   - Explanation of their contribution (links preferred)

Walter, do you have a list of the email addresses of all people on the
current IML?

I am currently on vacation, and as such will probably not tend to existing
requests until the above date. I should have a current-election-cycle list
out by Sept. 12, 2009. (if either of the dates above should be adjusted,
that's fine with me, later is better)

Anybody else want to join the committee?

I do have a list of (almost) everyone's email.

Re criteria, I consider asking a question to be a significant contribution.
