Chris Mahan scribbled:
The contributing active member rep. represents those who have 
contributed financially to the foundation.
The volunteer member rep. represents those who are volunteers.

The active members are also volunteers, and they get to vote for
both.

It is possible that there are cases where financial contributors to
the foundation are not actually using the site and volunteering in
the projects. For those cases I suppose they would vote only for the
contributing active rep.
