Interesting. That could be the reason why I was left out. Not sure
it completely fits to the information so far. In any way it's worth
pointing out. Thanks.


What I don't understand:

> after which they need a confirmation by the GA

1. Does that mean all additional members drop out and need a
   confirmation by the remaining GA?

2. What does it exactly mean to need an confirmation?
   Does each additional member need to ask for a confirmation
   after 2 years?

   Or should there be a GA vote, every 2 years, for all
   additional members that would be dropped (after asking them
   if they want to stay in the GA)?

3. In which way is point 2 to be co-ordinated with new votes
   after 2 years?

The text you quoted (according to my Git archaeology it wasn't
changed; only reformatted) is unfortunately a bit ambiguous and
unclear :(


Best regards,
  Alexander
