I'm not sure here. If we make those requirements guidelines, it further
weakens the LSC. BUT, as duly noted, we have two cases who could qualify,
Dwayne and Wayne. I wouldn't want them excluded from the possibility of
being LSC members, as they are more than capable.
Here's how I see it: if we reduce the requirements to guidelines, then who
decides when we want to bend the rules? That opens it up to politics. By
having defined guidelines, we have a standard people must meet, and then
decisions on who is able to run for LSC membership aren't decided individually.
This is a tough call. I think there need to be some minimum standards, so
that we only have technically capable people on the LSC. I'm torn on this
issue. Other input?

PS - I'm working on a response to Dan's simplified version of the proposal.
I should have that ready tonight.
