Sorry, I meant 10% of the membership; my bad.
The advantage of not expiring memberships is that it makes them easier to keep
track of: membership monotonically increases, and the members list is simply
appended to. Hey, right now, no one is doing it as far as I can tell. May
as well make it as dead simple as possible.
Saying that 'coop is the stockholders' meeting of Cyberspace Communications'
is only true because an existing group of people want it to be true. They
could change their minds and say, 'A mailing list is the stockholders' meeting
of Cyberspace Communications.' Why should that be a problem?

Only because the change would have to be approved in coop. :)

I don't think even that is true. We had an election sometime back where the
board just kind of declared that pretty much all votes were going to count,
because there were no records of who was actually a member at that time. So
there is some precedence for doing such things.

"They could change their minds and say, 'A mailing list is the

Because then the whole membership would have to be indivudally informed
of all CC business since they would be "at the meeting" when decisions
are considered.
