> Thanks again Jeremy – It’s not about not wanting to vote; it’s about the right to abstain whilst retaining membership privileges. In my experience with NPO’s and NGO’s over the years many members abstain from voting at non-contentious elections or procedural change ballots. IMO this right should be maintained.


Then the charter would have to be amended to effect this.  Who would like to join the charter amendment working group?  I can create a new mailing list right away if we have people who want to be on it.

Bear in mind though that "member" is just a word.  If you are a subscriber to the list, nobody is going to have a problem with you calling yourself an IGC member, even if by the letter of the charter you may not be.
