We are agreed that CC status confers eligibility to vote. The constitution provides four ways that can be revoked (section 4.3) "A Member's membership shall be terminated upon the expiration of all prior grants of Core Contributor status or upon his or her earlier resignation, removal, or death." There is no mention of Auth account status in there, just as there was no mention in there of the requirement last year to have a SSH key registered. Last year we were adding SSH keys for people right up until the wire, yet this year we are being asked not to do the exactly equivalent operation in the new system. Has the OGB contacted the leaders of the CGs of the people it wants to prohibit from voting? As CGs are responsible for granting CC status I'm unclear as to how the OGB can remove it from members without the agreement of the affected CCs. > Whether they're active doesn't matter, they needed to do the verification > step. What verification step? Are you referring to the requirement for Sun Employees to verify their employee status? Or are you referring for the request for people to provide two security questions and update their account details? -- Alan Burlison --
