[Web Comm] Removing members from committees

[Jason Birch]

In this case, Daniel was a special case not because of committee or
foundation membership, but because he had security access to the
foundation's site beyond his role in the foundation or official
membership in committees, which was specifically tied to his employment.
I don't think that we should look at the roles on OSGeo.org as
indicating anything about membership in committees, as there will not be
a 1:1 relationship?

Jason,

Well, I'm not sure Daniel is a special case.  Membership in OSGeo
committees and the organization as a whole are as individuals, not as
employees of a corporation.  So while it is perfectly fine for
committees to remove him has a member since he has indicated he won't be
able to be active in OSGeo for some time, it should not be considered
automatic.

I don't mean to cause a fuss, and am not suggesting changing or undoing
anything already done.  I just want to stress no one gets a "free pass"
onto committees nor can anyone be excluded based on employment history.
