[PSF-Community] Sponsor Members - Bylaws Revision

[Don Sheu]

>From my best memory, it was a Sponsor Member suggesting it was weird for
sponsors to vote. I could see a conflict of interest if there's a competing
sponsor up for approval and an incumbent would have a contrary financial
interest to vote against adding a sponsor.

This is strictly my opinion, but a board is constituted to manage bylaws of
the organization. If there's any concerns of how a board or a director of a
board is performing duties, the current election is the right time to
address these concerns.

Warmest wishes,
