Well then I'm glad we found the source of our confusion. In this context, I
use the word "user" to refer to non-Gentoo-developer members, and potential
members, if they meet the criteria for membership. You perform outreach to
the user community and those who qualify for membership can become members,
and those that don't qualify would not.

User Representatives can also represent the needs of non-member users, but
these non-member users would not be voting for trustees.

I am proposing absolutely no changes to the criteria for membership in the
Foundation.

Best,

Daniel
