Hi Bill - I just looked over the constitution. Grants are attached to a specific person and specific ones, like contributor, are permanent. (see section 3.3 of the constitution). The only time it would not be would be if someone was expelled (see sections 3.5 & 3.6) These folks, as individuals, have each contributed already to the community - whether visible or not, so I'm okay with the grant being attached to the individual (I see no other way, anyways) Valerie -- Valerie Fenwick, http://blogs.sun.com/bubbva Solaris Security Technologies, Developer, Sun Microsystems, Inc. 17 Network Circle, Menlo Park, CA, 94025. 650-786-0461
