Membership committee

RJ Raphaël Jadot Public Seen by 266

(Copy/paste from email sent to foundation mailing list)

In our statutes, it's said that the council has right to accept or not the membership.
We should create a Membership committee that would be set up for

  • managing process of memberships registration.
  • helping members to be active in the association and feel good in it
  • manage membership renewal
  • give advice to the council on how to manage particular cases (conflicts, trouble makers, non-renewal of ghosts members etc)
  • protecting the association against "sabotage"

If we agree, we should also think about how people join the committee. It may be fully open, or under invitation..

Yes it should (as jclvanier said) be at lest 3 people. Also it should be an odd number of people, so that there is no stalemate on deciding if a person should be a member or not.

I think it should be fully open to the members and with no less than 3 people.

@raphael: Membership should be fully open rather than invitational, IMO.

@anuragbhandari are you talking about membership or about the Membership Committee?

Please don't forget that only the Council can add or remove members. The work of MC is of backing up the council decision, in this sense the council will not say no to a member that MC says yes :-D I think that 3 is short, just because we have more than 3 strong communities,.

@jooazevedopatrcio so in your opinion, it should be completely open to any member of the association?

Yes. the only criteria is to know the community and the potential members, and be a member of course
