Thanks Eli,
I agree with you about the distinction between "Participants" and "Members".

While participants are those that are working with open source technologies
in the geospatial field (I know many people that don't care of OSGeo but
follow many list of open source projects or topics because this is the only
thing what they look at) members are thos that take care of OSGeo as a
fundation and of its ultimate goals (disseminate, build, guarante, etc.).

It is to me like "users" and "committers" of a software project.


So the point is what is the role of a member?
*Again in my opinion*, it should be:

DUTIES:
* abide the OSGeo code of conduct
* support OSGeo goals
* vote when is required
* ....

RIGHTS
* vote for the Board
* vote for any referendum
* propose new members
* ....

RULES
* removed from member if not voted for 3 consecutive time
* removed from member if a severe infringement of CoC is detected
* can propose 1 new member a year with 5 support letters of other members
(no voting procedure but only verification from a committee to avoid
takeover actions
* ...

And so on....
