<div>Interesting discussion - I wonder if we can find some examples of foundations with a similar role and a) figure out how they did it and b) if it worked well for them?</div><div><br></div><div>I could not see a similar role with a quick search on types of members:</div>
<div>- Eclipse has membership tied to contributions by the looks of things (<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/membership/become_a_member/membershipTypes.php" target="_blank">http://www.eclipse.org/membership/become_a_member/membershipTypes.php</a>)</div>
<div>- Apache just seems to have members (by invitation only etc… <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/members.html" target="_blank">http://www.apache.org/foundation/members.html</a>)</div><div>- Free software foundation also has membership it tied to donations etc…</div>
