[Attn All] New membership policy? Your thoughts

[Orion Pobursky]

I'm thinking an external database. A web interface ensures that the prospective member reads the bylaws and affirms that they meet the age requirement. The user then provides an email and a member ID number is generated for the member. Via this ID number/email combo the user can vote in elections or opt out of membership. That's the gist of my idea. Of course this can be ironed out a bit more to provide tighter integration between membership and the forums/website
