I hate to disagree with you, but the old constitution specifically said that Contributor grants were for life and never expired. Laid on top of them were Core Contrib grants that had a 2 year term. Nowhere in the old constitution did it say that contrib grants need to be expired before core contrib or leader or facilitator roles can be assumed; thus my comment that the one role only at a time requirement appears to be one of those required-but-undocumented limitations/features of the Auth code. -John _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list website-discuss@opensolaris.org
