Discussed during the 2026-01-14 Council meeting.
This topic was the centerpiece of a significant debate during the January 14th meeting regarding the tension between inclusivity and the potential for gaming FESCo elections via temporary memberships. We discussed the difficulty of defining “active contributors” and noted that “legacy” voting rights for inactive members are just as problematic as new temporary ones. The Council determined this topic is too complex to resolve in a single meeting and requires detailed asynchronous discussion here on Fedora Discussion rather than waiting for the 2026 Strategy Summit.
