As I said earlier, I don't think SLOB should be involved in the details of who is a member of this committee or that committee. We should be trusting the community. That said, I agree with James -- we need more transparency from the committee. For example, when the "Sugar Labs Membership and

Thanks. I don't think adding more Sugar Labs members to the membership and elections committee will increase transparency. Practices that will increase transparency are; - make open the discussions, meetings, minutes, and decisions of the committee, - make open the collective actions of the
