[OSGeo Oceania] membership - elections - AGM

[Alister Hood]

Hi, I was thinking along similar lines to Robert: people sign
themselves up and become "Provisional" Members.  By default their
membership is accepted after a set period of time.  I thought in some
cases the board may want to fast track membership for someone who is
making an obvious contribution to the community, but it is probably
better to say this is a set period which allows for people to raise
any concerns with a prospective member, and stick to it.

Regards,
Alister

If there's some sudden influx then the org has 3 months to change the rules/sort it out. eg. InternetNZ has this (S3.6). Limiting officers to 2 per company might be sane as well. But I could happily live without any protection as well.
