- The community is a combination of people who have met in person and people who have not met in person (only online). Also, there will be people who are supporters of the various projects and activities of the community. Since these supporters contribute to the community they should be receiving dividends. Customers of products produced by the community may also want to join as “provisional” members.
- The specific suggestion for relaxed rules is to make it possible to easily certify people within the WoT in a decentralized way. A database would independently keep track of all “provisional” members and make sure that they are unique accounts, then WoT members can use this database to assist in making sure the “provisional” members they certify are unique human accounts.
