[Osmf-talk] Articles of Association Update 2.0

[Simon Poole]

WEll at least for the associate members we only have an e-mail address
in the fist place (at least for most of them), so I would see it more as
a check that the e-mail address and the secret key are still under
control of one, hopefully the same, person.

Wrt technological hurdle, naturally the old method of voting via a proxy
could still be provided in some form.
