[EC-NCSG] membership review procedures

[Robin Gross]

Hi all,

If you haven?t already been following, please see the latest version on the operating procedures for membership review:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JcHBNGsD1tYDdkzGbAxt7T6CbRFj-_SzTdK_oN7Q2jI/edit?usp=sharing

A couple additional issues have come up with the draft since we last spoke that I?d appreciate some feedback on.

1.  How to handle people with dual membership as both an organization and also as an individual in NCSG?  Several have expressed discomfort with this practice and the incentive it creates to game the system by giving some people considerably more voting rights by claiming dual memberships.  One solution that has been proposed is allow those people to have membership in both categories, but only allow the person to vote in one of the membership categories (as an org or as an individual).  This seems like a reasonable solution to me.  What do others think?

2.  How to handle vacation / traveling time in the EC procedures for membership review?  We need some flexibility because we don?t want deadlines happening when people are on vacation, but we also can?t have unlimited postponements due to someone claiming travel.  Any ideas for how to handle deadlines and legitimate travel / vacation need for flexibility?

Any other thoughts, comments, or recommendations on the draft are most welcome.  Other than the above two issues, I?d say we are ready for membership feedback on the procedures.

Thanks,
Robin
