[Ofa_boardplus] OFA Membership Level Proposal

[Coulter, Susan K]

Great feedback.  Thanx.
Yes - one thing Bill Lee pointed out last year was that the difference between Adopter and Supporter was basically … nothing.
So I thought we needed to make a distinction, and participation in the test program seemed like a significant perk.
Making it only available to Adopters seemed like an good idea… we’ll see if others agree.  :)
Draft is updated and attached.

Susan, thanks, this is very good. I want to note a couple of things just for clarity. I don't have any particular suggestions for changes, just wanting to be clear on some changes you seem to be suggesting and possibly an omission:
1 - I'm not recalling completely our policy, but I think at some point we decided Promoters could nominate individuals for elected office. Recall the person
     person holding office needn't be on the Board. Whatever, it's a point worth thinking about

2 - We should be clear about what level has voting rights in WGs

3 - In the past there's been no requirement for a minimum level of membership to participate in testing programs, so what you're proposing is a change.
     I happen to think it's an interesting idea, just pointing out it is a change

I think this is a HUGE start on resolving an important question

… for your reading pleasure …

Please review the attached proposal for how we re-state our membership levels and what they provide.
Any and all feedback is welcome.

This will be discussed in more detail at next week’s XWG meeting.
