| Since the distinction between Core and non-Core Contributor is voting, you could make it a use-it-or-lose it franchise; those not voting in (say) 2 or more consecutive elections become Contributors, and need to be re-nominated for Core Contributorship.
| No ability to do this in the current constitution. JP Added to "new constitution" feedback.

| Need a mechanism to alert members and facilitators when membership grants are due to expire. People shouldn't have to manually poll.
| JP to look into y!Pipe stuff to highlight, ??? to look into how to do more active alerts, maybe use facilitators project and monthly report of new/expiring/expired grants, maybe automate in cron?

| Admins/mods should moderate their mail queues and read the manual for list operation. List users should read the manual, too, and either subscribe to the lists or take the issue up with the list owners instead of wasting time with cyclical rants about how lists persecute the little people. World peace would be nice as well.
| JW provided a list of email list best practice areas to the website community, MO to add to website community FAQ
