[governance] IGC Coordinator Relections - Reminder - Votes Closing in a few days

[Jean F. Quéralt]

Hi all.

Just for the interest of clarification I didn't feel there was any
intention to "purge" per se. I was more trying to point out to that
"loophole" (for lack of a better word on my part - English not being my
first language) as at least all those who joined from BB recently would be
in that particular situation.

As you mention, it would be a good conversation to look into during a
Charter revision.

All is good :-)

Best,
Jean
