Membership renewal is in progres. Also discussed how much we really want to keep
hacking on our current custom membership/voting platform that no one really
seems to understand. Also need to start looking for board candidates

actual election
STATUS: Pending
ITEM: sponsoring
Some confusion around sponsoring levels, need to push the unified sponsoring
plan forward. Discussion about whether the more clickspam sponsors for the
website are good or too much effort for little to no gain. The real sponsors all
come in through XDC. Also talked about simplifiy the website sponsoring, to
reduce admin overhead.
ACTIONS: Bryce to propose an update for the website sponsoring policy.
ACTIONS: Daniel to propose a clarification for about the XDC organizer discount
and what it's meant to compensate.
