So what about those who applied for membership on the basis that their membership was for for life?
I’m not sure I would now be a successful applicant due to my current level of participation which is now someone who submits an occasional bug report, makes infrequent posts to the forums and reports the results of testing ISO images whenever a new version of Ubuntu is getting ready for release . 
Should I now be preparing myself to the relinquishing of my Ubuntu Membership?
