Thank you for proposing this option. I really like it's constructive tone.

I would like this to be phrased a bit stronger. IMHO any major change in how
project membership is handeld should be endorsed by the whole project by GR.
Would you be willing to add something like this?
I think it would be important to phrase it in a way that only *major* changes
like adding whole new classes of members or fundamentally changeing things
agreed upon in prior GRs require a GR. As to not try to micro manage the ability
of the DAM and the NM comitee to adjust their processes as they see fit.
Thanks for bringing some sanity to this discussion!
