I think that we should have an individual membership, at least to 
include those - like you - that want to participate in individual 
capacity. I don't expect to have 100'000 or even 100 individual members, 
but still I would like to offer this possibility.

However, the spirit in Lisbon was: as the best is enemy of the good, 
let's do things one step at a time. So let's finalize the MoU and 
Bylaws, start with basic operations, and discuss the rest over time.

Personally, I think that we desperately need to grow a much better 
attitude in working together, tolerating our differences and trusting 
each other - and this is not your or someone's fault, it is everyone's 
responsibility. I am trying to do my best in proposing compromises that 
I honestly think can be acceptable to all. As I said, I appreciated how 
many people in Lisbon adopted that approach and I would like to see it 
propagate to this mailing list.
