[Nanog-futures] Fwd: Proposed bylaws for NewNOG

2010-09-20 Thread Daniel Golding
A couple comments... The age requirement to be a fellow is more applicable to IEEE than NANOG. Also, we don't know how old anyone is - the only observable data available is % of grey hair and degree of grouchiness, both of which are sadly inexact. I think there should be a codified budget and

Just as an FYI - a lot of the membership stuff got cribbed from IEEE (thanks, IEEE guys!), as they are a related group and there's no need to reinvent the wheel. That being said, there will be a few cases like this, where we'll need to clean up the verbiage. There is nothing actually implied here
