Hi Nathaniel, Piping in again from the outside: being on council would certainly seem to be a job not a privilege, and I suspect it will be hard enough to find people willing to actually put in work to worry about restricting membership overly.
Given this, my suggestion would be to have a general, no-name escape clause to the rules, stating that anybody who does not formally meet the rules is welcome to *volunteer* being on the council, with a suggestion on what s/he might contribute, and the existing council can then decide whether or not that contribution is welcome. My sense would be that any time this happens one will be most happy to accept. All the best, Marten p.s. Independently of rules, I don't see how Travis would not qualify even from current work, given that he has just committed to actively try to improve/generalize dtype.
