Proposal

Modify the AoA to allow members to voluntary renounce their membership by
sending a notice to the foundation secretary. Further allow the board to
expel members, such decisions can be appealed to the AGM.

I agree with the member renouncing member. While I agree that the board
should be able to expel members, a clear policy needs to exist before the
board can exercise that power. Additionally,  well as a document appeals
process should exist.

Proposal

Modify AoA to make voting rights dependant on the membership fee for the
financial year in which the AGM is held being fully paid and received by
the foundation and a 30 day membership term.

I agree - but set a limit, for example, membership fees must be received
within x days of schedule vote. Is there isn't an automatic process to
remind members that their membership fee is due, their should be.

What is the purpose of the 30 day membership term in the proposal?
