its not the point if Tim has/has not a conflict of interest or is/is not
eligible to be a Steering Committee Officer. I posted the comment just to show
that the membership of LEGO employees in fan clubs is an issue and it has to be
solved independently of a mild or strict solution. ldraw.org is moving towards a
more and more formal organisation (personally I still feel a little bit
uncomfortable about this cos I dont like the idea that my hobby gets ruled)
and sooner or later this topic will pop up again. we might skip it now, but we
will have to face it some day.

it also is not an european/american thing or what damage the company could do.
in my view the bylaws are in some ways an constitution, an expression of a will.
a statement how far/close ldraw is positioning itself from the company. will we
lip-read every word coming from an e-mail address signed lego.com or do we not
even allow them to rise the hand in order to ask if they might dare asking a
question?

IHO we should first vote on this particular issue, trying to find out what is
the will of the majority and then add the result to the bylaws. the poll/vote
would go from:
no member/no steering committee
member no vote/no steering committee
member vote/no steering committee
member vote/steering committee
and the poll should also include this part-time, student, non-career,
professional, careerist issue. I have to admit that this comes a little bit
late, is in no way practical, it is also time consuming and ... but the fact
that this is the only point people commented on, showes that it is a critical
one.
