Lorenzo,<br><br>I think this would be counter to the accepted definition of membership levels.<br><br>From <a href="http://www.osgeo.org/Membership" target="_blank">http://www.osgeo.org/Membership</a><br><br><em>"We emphasize that the only real difference between a Member and a
Charter Member is the right and responsibility to vote at the
Foundation level. It is not our intent to make the Charter Members out
to be some "privileged" class. Furthermore, the only real difference
between a Member and a Participant is the self-registration on the
Foundation's website. All mailing lists, projects, committees, and
other Foundation activities are uniformly open and available to all
friends of the Foundation."</em><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 14, 2008 at 4:20 AM, Lorenzo Becchi <<a href="mailto:lorenzo@ominiverdi.com">lorenzo@ominiverdi.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
