I'm going to snip out the stuff I'm not going to comment on

I like this distiction. Now we can concentrate on forging a new path
without having to worry about legacy DOS programs

I like this idea of having qualified members. You are definately qualified
if you have one or more parts certified or you write a program but I think
that the reviwer req needs some further clarification. My suggestion is this:
-Served as a reviwer on the Parts Tracker through at least 2 official parts
updates and have posted least 5 reviews per update
This ensures that the candidate has activly served as a reviewer and is not
just somebody who happens to have reviewer access

I assumes votes will be handled by Email to a special email address at
LDraw.org?
All and all I think this is a very well formed document. I would accept it
even without the change I suggested. Hopefully we can get this machine
rolling in the right direction.
