The mailing list seems like a good idea. involving the Board appears to
be in order. I think the August meeting was a vacation for the members
since no real Board business was discussed; however, I would assume that
the membership of the Election and Membership Committee would be a
proper topic at the September meeting.

This discussion really belongs to the SLOBS members and the leaders of the
various projects. It is not for you and I, or any other individual members to
decide.

I disagree about XSCE
Is XSCE a Sugar Labs project?
You will have to ask the XSCE folks that question.
I will do :) Do you have any suggestions for criteria to evaluate how to define
what is and is not a Sugar Labs owned project?
As far as I know, the project is self-funded by the volunteers who work on it.
Most of them are members of Sugar Lab.
Yes, I've read their weekly call minutes and joined a call earlier this year :)
I encourage anyone who hasn't to also do so :)
Are there any other related projects like this you suggest reaching out to?

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.
Regards,
Sebastian
