When we were drafting the constitution, we adopted the standard
Articles for charities, which give the Board fairly broad powers to
refuse (or remove) membership if they consider this in the best
interests of the charity. This is subject to a due process that the
Board must follow and a right of appeal to the AGM, which the Board
decided to beef up from the standard rules.[...]
It is for such concerns that I have suggested a limit on guarantor
members, say to 75 or 100 people, all reviewed by the board, and open
membership for the "Friends of WMUK 2.0" with no review.
