The issue as stated by the new guidelines of the board is to allow those
who are interested in remaining as members of the foundation to remain. 
The task of the membership committee is to evaluate whether someone who
applied (by going to the web page, and submitting his form) should be
part of the foundation using the criteria that we have been given.

We are trying to maximize those people who can be foundation members,
and just rejecting those who have not contributed to Gnome.

I believe that Elliot should just be moved over to the approved
section.  I do not want to seem disrespectful, that is not my intention,
but I do not believe that our job is to act as a police officer.

Any other objections besides Elliot?   There are plenty of applications
there that we should approve.

Miguel.
