> Hi Olivier,
>
> We have recently gone through our chapter elections (Jan 2016) and
> faced a similar issue. However, our bylaws very clearly state the
> distinction between voting and non-voting members. Everyone
> registering with us is just a member and can participate in all our
> activities, whereas only those members are eligible for "voting" in
> the elections who have attended, physically or remotely (through
> Zoom/Skype/etc.) AT LEAST two chapter meetings in the last calendar
> year. This distinguishes the active members from the non-active
> members and can be a tool to filter out some dormant members.

> Dear all,
>
> when it comes to the forthcoming elections, our chapter has in the past
> conducted straw polls of our "members" to give our leadership team a
> better idea of the candidate the Chapter should support.
>
> We do not charge fees and have over 3000 "members" both in the UK and
> abroad. I use the quotation mark because the membership is listed on the
> Internet Society AMS system, as people who are interested in the UK
> Chapter's activities.
>
> Recently the question arose in our chapter as to who were our Chapter's
> electorate. Is it the 3000+ names listed in the AMS system? Some might
> say that it is not, since these names are unverified. Half of these
> names are based abroad. So, if your chapter is without paid members, how
> do you define your Chapter's electorate?
>
> Kindest regards,
>
