Since there was no clear-cut definition of what qualifies someone to become a PLUG member, we took the initiative of defining it in the constitution, along with the qualifications. I forwarded a proposal for the aforementioned institutions a few weeks back and was approved on the board meeting of 15 December 2004. The qualifications for juridical/institutional membership are enshrined in the new PLUG constitution we drafted. Since the PLUG mailing list seems to have a limit in the size of the attachment, and that the PLUG web site is yet to undergo renovation, it was then decided that anyone who'd want to get a copy of the constitution would have to direct an email request to me. We'd be uploading the constitution as soon as the site gets revamped. > Regarding Rommel's suggestion on lifetime membership for the founding > members, if this is something the board will consider, pls decide if the > membership will be institutional or individual. We don't have a provision for lifetime membership in the constitution. I do think that this is one issue that would require constitutional amendments - fortunately the mechanisms for such are also specified in the constitution. -- Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
