Hi Juan Pan,

Best is to keep things simple. My suggestion would be to have 3 roles:

1. Associate Members = anybody interested, low barrier to entry
2. Members (or Full Members) = members who are also committers to any ASF
project
3. Steering Committee = elected from Full Members with an
administrative/organizational role (similar to a PMC); size up to you

Associate Members would become Full Members simply by getting the Vote of
an ASF community/project, not special procedure would be necessary inside
the ALC. At least one member of the Steering Committee SHOULD be a member
of dev@community.a.o. You could consider removing Associate Members who
were inactive for a significant time, say 2 years.

Cheers,
Hadrian
