 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

Hi Jean,

My apologies for being unclear.

When I said we have no such plans I meant literally just that - I did
not intend to imply that anything like that had been considered or
should or even could be planned. I was just replying to Michael who
seemed to think it might be possible. Indeed what you correctly
observe about new members makes it clear that such a purge would not
be possible.

In any case I am not in any position to remove anyone from the list
even if wanted to. I'm now only concerned with the elections and apart
from recording who voted and who didn't I'm not going to make any
distinctions between list members.

But as your and Michael's questions indicate, it might be good if our
charter was clearer on this point, distinguishing between new members
(who are planning to vote as soon as they can) and observers (who can't
or don't want to vote). But that's just a note for a possible future
charter revision.

I hope this clarifies the situation.

Best,

Tapani
