And I would argue very much against that! It needs to be in the statutes. You can not
have open-ended definitions of what a member is!

I think in my previous email I +1'ed wrongly. What I +1'ed to was, that only individuals can be members. And that is all that has to be in the statutes. Sponsorship is not a statutory thing, unless you want to assign democratic power to the sponsors which we don't iirc.
