Hi Avri,

I think it needs to be clear that the community can only ASK board to do
things, whether they would do it is entirely at the discretion of the
board. This is normal for membership setup as the community has no
executive status to implement.

That said, I am in full agreement with trying to resolve things locally as
much as possible and if you ask me, I don't think membership will encourage
that approach. Going to court to enforce would be more closer in the
escalation process than we may be thinking.
