How about this:

Requirements for LSC Membership
To ensure only competent, dedicated, and active contributors become members
of the LSC, they shall have met one or more of the following requirements:

- Authored an LDraw part subsequently released in an Official LDraw.org
Parts Update
- Served as a reviewer on the Parts Tracker through at least 2 official
parts updates, and posted at least 5 reviews per update
- Authored a software program that is compliant with either the LDraw .2.7
spec or another spec published by the LSC
- Been nominated for membership by at least 2 members of the current LSC

Two thoughts:
I think 2 nominations is sufficient but maybe 3 would be prudent as it would
represent a majority of the members of the LSC

Dan suggested making the requirement of part authoring be 2 parts instead of
1.  I'm leaning toward agreeing.
