How about instead of 1a & 1b we define the distinction as "is occupying a residence at the property". Because even if, for example, someone goes away for 6 months but their stuff is still here, then they're still occupying a space and nobody can move into it. I love the rest of what you're saying.

In January '19 ELF meeting @deancameron @moniquekurdian @tom120 @nicolehinton @sun7 @kitteaasdis @rodneywhitman & myself decided that the membership model would be:

1) Members (is not occupying a residence at the property but has contributed to ELF meeting minimum requirements for membership, entitling them to vote)
2) Resident member (is occupying a residence at the property & has passed membership requirements)
3) Friend (just wants to be kept in the loop and involved in community events. Doesn't plan to move in)
