See the document Membership Levelsfor proposed definitions of the new/revised membership levels.

Once we agree on this I'll draft actual text for the Definitions and body of the Process Document.

During the May EC meeting it was suggested that in the section on Partner Members the wording "Individual JUG members must join as Affiliates if they wish to do more than act as Observers" should be clarified since the proposal specifies that Partner Members (in their role as as "organizational members") will have more rights than Observers.

During the May EC meeting it was also suggested that we should create a simple table t defining the different membership roles, specifying who qualifies for each, and listing the obligations and benefits that are incurred for each. Even if we don't include this table in the Process Document we could post it on JCP.org as a guide to potential members

John Weir has offered to create this table and has already produced a draft; we can discuss at the 20 May EG Meeting.

Comment created by heathervc:

We should consider the use case of a person employed by a corporate JCP Member who wants to participate as an Individual, not as a representative of the Full Corporate Member. Currently the workflow diagram does not allow for this, but we should consider a mechanism to allow this.

Werner brought up in the July EC meeting that we might want to restrict JUG primary representation (Partner Member). If primary Partner Member is employed by a Full JCP Member, they would not be allowed to serve in this capacity to serve on the EC?

Comment created by heathervc:

Discuss how to continue to enable academic participation, based on additional research Heather completed in June 2014, at the July 15 2014 EG Meeting..

This is already fixed in the EDR version of the Process Document.
