It is up to you folks but I strongly suggest *not* having companies be
members. If you want companies to be *sponsors* that is good but the
moment you allow companies to be members, they will *expect* something
for that money. Explicitly things like direction and certain amounts of
control.

People are members, companies are sponsors. I would also suggest that
sponsorships be clearly defined as to the benefits thereof.
