No it doesn't. Section 7.8 is about the granting of CC status, Sections 4.2 and 4.3 are about Membership - in fact Section 7.8 explicitly states that Sections 4.2 and 4.3 define the rules for Membership. There's no conflict here, but you seem to be determined to generate one - for what purpose I do not know. > This needs to be clarified.

And this sort of obsession with constitutional navel fluff - which seems to be one of the main preoccupations of the OpenSolaris Community - was just one of the reasons behind my decision. Thank you for reinforcing it. -- Alan Burlison --
