As I mentioned in my last email I think that membership should really have a basis in the FSA. To that end I'm going to propose adding a small section to define a basis. The goal is not to change the policy, as that we should have as well, but to have a core that we build on with policy. Also, adding this section will require other book keeping changes (changing section numbers) as well. No one but me has read this, so I'm really looking for a lot of feedback here. FIRE AWAY!


Inkscape Community. The Inkscape Community shall be defined as a list of members that is maintained by The Committee and posted publicly on the website.
  1. Adding a Member. Contributors will be added when they have made a sustained contribution to the Inkscape Project and that contribution is verified by three existing members of the Community.
  2. Removing a Member. Members can be removed from the list at the member’s request or by a simple majority vote of The Committee. The Committee should only remove members that cannot be contacted, have ceased contributing to Inkscape for over a year, or who have committed actions that are harmful to the project or its community.

Note, I avoided mentioning the CoC there just because it isn't defined anywhere else in the FSA and I figured that be too much to write and define. It seemed like "harmful" was enough and the policy could say that is defined as violating the CoC.
