You do not mention the issue of 'subscribing to the charter', which is the
criterion of membership as per the charter, at all here. Interestingly, this
was a strong refrain throughout your discussions on the IGIs and nomcom
issue... you kept pledging by 'all those who subscribe to the charter'.....

When did you sign the charter - by voting for it? Well, unfortunately while
we have the list of all those who voted during the charter vote, there is no
break up of who voted for and who against. Should I take all those who
voting during this vote (even those who opposed it) as having signed the
charter ? I can, but is this your view.

Or did you sign by voting in the coordinators elections, but then do those
who didn't vote become non members (see my last email)

Also, should the membership list be frozen after charter and co-coordinator
votes, or can I again ask all those on the list if they are willing to
subscribe and become members.... 

Since we do not have a clear members list what exactly is so evil in saying,
well lets have one, and things will be simpler from there on. Specifically,
do you also like Avri have a problem in saying, yes, I subscribe to the
charter. Or is it that you find this as another good issue to oppose
something I am trying to do and enter into endless arguments.
