[Foundation-l] 2011 Board Elections: Input needed

[marcos]

I think  Wikimedia is not a club , and there's no fee for collaborating in its development. There is a difference, it seems to me, between a "fee" and  a "donation". I believe that FT 2 has explain it better than I. ;-)

Hm, it is actually very common that those who pay a fee have voting
rights, we usually call them "members". :-)

I understand well that those who already have voting rights are
reluctant to extend them to other people. The ideas of the election
committee deserve more consideration. If donors can vote isn't that
similar to a membership the Foundation had planned in its very
beginning?

Kind regards
