Becoming a member of the Fedora EMEA NPO puts you in a position where 
you need to set aside your own personal opinion, and listen to decisive 
bodies within the Fedora Project.

Those Fedora Project bodies are elected from within the *entire* Fedora 
Project contributor community, and thus follow the principles of 
democracy and Fedora Project's governance model, whereas the board of 
the Fedora EMEA NPO is elected from within a small sub-set of Fedora 
Project contributors, by a small sub-set of Fedora Project contributors.

And with a "small sub-set", I mean the Fedora EMEA NPO members, who are 
a small sub-set of the Fedora Project contributors. No matter how large 
that sub-set may become, it will always remain a sub-set, as we cannot 
and will not make membership mandatory in any way.
