Meeting Minutes 7th Sep 2018

Membership Criteria

For Byld to be an active community, we expect members to actively participate in Byld events. This could be in form of participating in the events, organizing, mentoring, volunteering, or contributing to projects.

To improve transparency in what's expected, we've come up with a rough points criteria which we'll take these into consideration at the end of the year when deciding which members are removed. The minimum points may range from 8-12 (for a year).
