To make this clear:  I am not advocating for companies getting a voice,
but what you are describing is not clear from Daniel's proposition.  If
financial contribution equals the right to vote for a representative in
the GA, then I am not sure how it would be justified to exclude some
financial contributions from that right.

Those are separate questions posed in two different threads.  In this
one, Daniel asked people to give him feedback at FOSDEM and to apply for
membership, in the other email thread, he asked the question you
described.  I think those are separate ideas.

Happy hacking!
