[CCWG-ACCT] FW: member organization and single membership structure

[Seun Ojedeji]

I understand the powers would be bestowed on the council individuals and
not their source position;

For instance one of the option is to populate the community council with
leaders of SO/AC, which IMO would be the cheapest route in this model so
they would be occupying a virtual seat and exercise those powers when
required. It would also allow the various SO/AC internet accountability
mechanisms apply to council including removal of members.

However, I then learnt that the council cannot be formed by SO/AC leader
positions but rather to the occupants of that position. This would mean
having to rewrite the bylaw/document forming the council often since
leaders of those positions are dynamic and could change at anytime. Will be
good to know if that is no longer the case
