Trying to clarify (because I'm a bit confused)...

http://www.igcaucus.org/membership

... talks about "membership" and "list participants", whereas you use 
the terms "full membership" and "membership". (For the same things, or 
are they different)

As far as I can see the charter only says that you can go on the "voter 
list" after two months of subscription to the list. The only thing which 
voting then triggers is a listing as a "member-voter" published 
alongside the electron results.

ps The website looks like a very good collaborative tool.
