I've thought about this a bit more.
I fear that this GR will look like "vote yes if you don't want change."
I'm personally fine with changes to the membership process. But I want
them to be decided after an healthy, public, discussion, and probably
also a vote (because we are not going to agree on which proposal is the
best one).
Should we add something to the GR to address this problem? Or simply
explain the reasoning behind the GR by different means, during the vote?
