> “Contributing members” are same as “managing members”? The name seems to change mid section. Important because the benefit (voting for free) only comes at the end.

This was updated subsequently so this point is no longer relevant as we simplified the wording.

> You may want to have a way to revoke Fellowship in rare and extreme cases. Maybe 1.6 applies to fellows but that is not clear.

Yes - this is a good point! We should make it clear that 1.6 indeed applies to fellows. ✅ updated to make this clearer

> The voting rights also seem to be responsibilities if voting rights are revoked following not participating in a vote. That should be considered carefully. Ie. if someone goes on vacation, could they loose their voting right for the rest of the year? Especially for 36 hour votes.

Yes good point - given what you and others have said, maybe we should just take out the responsibilities part - we can always add it back in a later year if we want to.
