Not only the size of the lists, but some names are listed differently. Mine's not consistent between them (as well as not listing my actual handle in the website one), buliabyak's real name is used in the website list (if that wasn't his choice, it's something to take into account), etc. Should I assume the website list was generated from either the repo commit history as well as manually modified or something like that? If it was generated from commit history or something of that nature it is also likely leaving out authors who only ever submitted patches via the bug tracker and never made direct commits. Just a couple things to take into account for this.
Cheers, Josh

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. ( https://inkscape.org/cals/event/30/)

= Background =
The first goal of the membership project is to change our Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement so that it points at a file that's easier to change than the existing AUTHORS file. The first vote to change to using a fixed website url was rejected by vote of the leadership comittee with no overall conesnsus, so this follow up vote is to attempt a change without the specific url.
There are two main options that came from the previous vote, one is to publish the list on the website and the second is to not specify any particular place.

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 [two options available, see below].= Options =
a. Change the FSA to use "... publicly available on its website" b. Change the FSA to say "... posted publicly" c. Do not change the FSA at this time.
Thanks everyone!
