No, I was mixing the old constitution and new constitution, and wasn't as clear as I'd hoped to be about it. (That the constitution redefines terms again from what we had been using doesn't help.) The old constitution had Contributors & Core Contributors in each collective, and the electorate was made up of all the Core Contributors of all the collectives. The new constitution has Contributors & Leaders in each collective, and the electorate is made up of any of those who wish to also be in the electorate. (See section 1.1.2 of: http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+ogb/Proposed+Constitution ) > Again, you are mixing roles and collectives.

The point I was trying to make is that since Contributor is for life, having to terminate that role to show the extra privileges temporarily granted to Core Contributors doesn't really make sense. I'm glad the website automatically restores them upon expiration, but why do they have to be terminated at all? -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list website-discuss@opensolaris.org
