To put things clear , there's no word about nationality or citizenship in the
statutes for the simple reason that it would probably be illegal in France.
We cannot set a rule to specify that the members have to live or to be born
in some specific countries. I'm not a lawyer but that sounds like
discrimination to me.

As far as i understand, Andreas is talking about the voting rules that have
been proposed :

These voting rules are something different from the statutes and in order to
keep things clear i think we should talk about that citizenship issue in the
election thread :
