Updates to the resolution / related resolutions

RESOLVED: That a new Xen Project StartUp membership class be created
for companies with less than 100 consolidated employees with an annual
participation fee of $5,000 USD. StartUp applicants will be accepted
for membership only upon approval of the Advisory Board. The StartUp
membership class benefits include electing 1 Advisory Board seat for
every 5 StartUp class members, limited to at most 3 representatives,
and any other benefits the Advisory Board may determine, with approval
from The Linux Foundation. The first and each subsequent Advisory
Board seat requires at least 5 new StartUp class members. The Advisory
Board asks The Linux Foundation to update the membership application
to reflect the new StartUp membership class.

That addresses concerns raised here and in AB_Meeting/October_2014_Minutes.

  • The revised membership application and charter was agreed in the February 2015 board meeting and reflects the changes above
