Hi Caryl, Sugar Labs, I welcomed Dave's proposal because he is merely proposing a new way to keep track of members (a moderated mailman list instead of a "Google spreadsheet"). It is the Membership and Election Committee's (main) duty to keep this list up to date, and currently we do it manually on third party infrastructure using non-free software. Mailing lists are stable, easy to manage and maintain, and would make it easier to manage in the future (it's automatic). The members mailman list won't exist for general discussion but for official communication from Sugar Labs to members and as the official registry of members. Of course the committee has to agree on this. In order to be appointed to Membership and Election committee a SLOBS vote was necessary, I would be happy if Dave went through the process, especially if he has more initiatives to improve our process. Regarding who is, or not, entitled to become a member, I have never seen anyone rejected from Sugar Labs; I find it hard to imagine, and I like it that way. Instead of raising the barrier to entry, I would prefer to enforce our currency policy ("are you still interested in being a member?" - every year) so that hopefully only active members get to vote.
