''The board discovered an [[Articles_of_Association|Articles of Association]] (AoA) oversight during the preparations for last year's elections: People who have been part of the OSMF for a long time, but spent much of that time as [[Membership#Associate_Members|associate members]], may be prevented from running for the board because they do not formally meet the requirement of having been a member for 180 days. This is because "associate members" are, counter-intuitively, not treated as a subset of "[[Membership#Normal_Members|members]]" in the Articles of Association. The board is considering to propose to the membership a change to paragraph 79 of the Articles of Association.''
''Past discussion'':
* ''2021-02-12 [[Board/Minutes/2021-02-12#Updating_Articles_of_Association|Updating Articles of Association]] (mid-month board chat)''
