[actual proposal snipped]
This sounds reasonable, but I have two crucial problems with it.
First, as I've said before, I really do not want to be in the position of
judging people. That's not a fun task for anyone -- easier when you accept,
of course, but more difficult when it's a rejection. What would happen if we
were to consider Shiri personally and then deny her [1]? Two things -- she'd
likely be even more hurt than she is, and a whole horde of non-NELUG people
would descend calling us evil with no consideration or respect for our
decision.
The other problem is that we have historically been a very informal group,
with no officers or constitution or formal procedures. We've made our
decisions by coming to a sense of agreement. Your process sounds like a fine
suggestion, but it's very counter to the spirit of the group.
[1] Probably unlikely, but actually possible. Or imagine someone much more
"borderline".

The concerns about the maturity of members is legitimate. (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)
