Hi all,
	Since we have rejected bilbo centaur homeunix net as a late candidancy, 
we have to rejct Miguel on the same rules or guideline. His case is 
different from Jim Gettys's membership not renewed due to technicality.

	I think we should be made clear this is the membership committee 
position and make it fully aware to the existing Board members. If the 
board members are in anyway fair, I don't believe they will overturn the 
decision here, otherwise, they would be perceived as a double standard. 
Since Miguel is well know within the community and well respected by the 
board, I am sure the board can involve him in some other ingenuie ways :)
