Great, please make sure to add both the votes to the board repository.

Also, I think that we should make sure to use the AUTHORS file as is until we establish a process for maintaining the list. For instance:

https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/blob/master/AUTHORS
Has 185 lines while:

https://inkscape.org/*membership/list.txt 

Only has 172. Until there is a process that is auditable and transparent I don't think the list should be changed. I'm not sure what the differences are between them.

We have decided to change the FSA language to:

```
Committee members (“Members”) shall be elected by the contributors to
the Inkscape community. The project shall keep a list of the
contributors permitted to participate in that election process publicly
available on its website.
```

= Next Steps =

I will contact Karen to get the ball rolling on the change.

Thanks everyone!

As a follow up the next video meting, I will propose discussing the
mechanism side of this problem unless there's a more pressing topic. (
