+1 to this change, I want people to know we expect some kind of activity or contributions from our members.

Exactly as Boriss wrote it, “Anyone who wants to contribute to the community can join our organization..."

Apart from that, I agree with the rest, but I’d like to support the idea Jeff made earlier in this thread:
As soon as possible, I would like to have a Google Hangout with the Board members to discuss and ratify these by-laws. As soon as that is done we can work on voting in the first batch of voting members.

How about monday next week?
