Background
The donations we receive do not cover basic costs, yet alone projects. Volunteers are still stumping up out of their own pockets. One member has suggested that:
• people continue to be allowed to join for free, but that this should no longer include automatic voting rights. Instead...
• full membership (ie with voting rights) should be for financial members only, based on both a donation and identity verification. To allow for people on low incomes, donations in the form of work should be allowed.
• a category of "organisational membership" should be established, to allow unions and labor-friendly groups to join. To protect the network structure it is suggested that organisational members have a single nominated spokesperson and a single vote. |
Should we change our membership
