Yes, Sankarshan has done an awesome work as a member of membership
committee. I fully support him as a foundation member.

Yes, you do need that information. Mostly for documenting the
acceptance or rejection decision. You should never just accept someone
without any response from referenced contacts because the membership
acceptance is based on peer recognition. Your role as MC member is to
make sure the applicants are recognized by others in the community
before being accepted.

I hope this helps. :-)

Cheers!
