You're talking about a different thing than Landon was suggesting. If
you'd like to participate in the existing effort to track OSGeo membership,
that's a reasonable thing to discuss, but I really think it's out of scope
for this thread.

Landon,

We recently discussed needing such a thing on the board list as well, so that
we could invite projects to participate in discussions which actively affect
them. I worry about allowing any user to spam all of our project leads with
one email, but barring any significant objections, I think this is worth
having and discouraging people from using inappropriately (socially, not 
technically.)
