This is great. I think we might want to double check some of the other sections just to make sure Voting Members and membership don't cause any confussion for future boards and members.


#### 3.7.2

The Board may waive the affirmation requirement for any Member who voted in the most recent preceding election. Such Members shall be considered Voting Members without a new affirmation unless they notify the Foundation in writing that they do not intend to vote.

What would the mechanism be for waiving this requirement? What would the criteria be for such a waiver?

The criteria are in the wording - that they voted in the last election. If you mean when would we do this, I think we could do it always, so in reality you only have to affirm once every couple of elections. One thing to note is that sometimes the SC elections and board elections can happen close together so it might be a bit annoying to need to affirm twice.

The mechanism I'm less sure of, but that's mostly because I don't really know the mechanism for affirmation in the first place, we would need some way to track it and ideally automate it all.
