Please don't spread FUD.

This has been discussed over a month ago:

There has been a reminder two weeks later:

Subject: [IAEP] REMINDER: Sugar Labs Membership deadline Sept. 6

Eligibility for membership status and it's impact has been made quite clear:

If you're worried about whether you qualify; if you're subscribed to one of the mailing lists receiving this email, you probably should be on the SL
Members List.

As a Sugar Labs member, you will get the oppertunity to vote in elections
determining the project's governance, such as the upcoming Oversight
Board<http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board> 2009-2001
Election <http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/2009-2010-candidates>

It has been set as a topic for the IRC channel (#sugar on Freenode) for about a month. Also there was a call to put oneself on the membership list in the context of the election as early as 2009-08-05 [1] (i.e. almost two months ago) at a minimum (haven't tried at all to find anything even older).

While it could have been announced more clearly (e.g. by sending out an _election_ reminder noting the membership status deadline), this is _very_ far from "first before a call for elections".
