What are the criteria for autonomy?  How shall we measure it?

Please point to the document that articulates what the "interests of ... 
noncommercial organizations" are.  So far, no one has been able to, but it 
is clear that you know exactly what these interests are.  You would be 
doing us all a great favor to provide documentation.

So, the real problem is that Kent does not vote the way you like?

Well, yes, that is a serious problem.  So from now on, let us make the 
membership require everyone must vote the same as Milton.

That is, after all, the logic that Milton is using.

Perhaps next we will refuse membership to all blue-eyed people.

Perhaps the real problem is that Milton is unable to recognized principled 
participation?  (OK, yes.  I'm picking on Milton.  He is not the only 
member with this difficulty.)
