This is actually a good question and maybe points towards a new way of
leveraging our Charter Membership. I would think that it would be
worthwhile to pass major changes in the way the organization operates
by the Charter Members. They basically "own" the organization and
(should) have vetted interests in how it takes shape. In the long run
[1] I can see an electronic voting tool where every now and then
something bubbles up the board deems relevant enough that all (a
majority, quorum, etc.) of our Charter Members wrap their heads around.

Have fun,
Arnulf

[1] The definition of "long" is directly proportional to the level of
interest we can trigger in Charter Membership, so maybe indefinite. :-)
