Interesting indeed. Looking forward to seeing what PayPal brings!

How does a corporation get to be a foundation member? Just by
paying, or is there another voting process?


The bylaws ought to be updated soon to give the full details about this, but here's the most pertinent information:

* Getting a single board seat is one of the benefits of the sustaining member membership class.

* There is a distinction made between "community" board members (who are voted in by the community) and "corporate" board members (who are appointed by corporations with sustaining memberships.)

* There is a rule in place that the community board members must always have a majority on the board, allowing a completely-aligned community board to veto corporate board member proposals.
