I do remember some discussion about a case faced in another venue, so we 
wanted to let us the possibility to reject the membership of someone who 
is notoriously known as, say, having a public agenda towards the 
extinction of ontologies on earth.    (01)

we have chosen 5 day notification to just let all of us the opportunity 
to see the name of the applicant and possibly react.    (02)

but as far as I know, we all are internet addicts, and 5 days is a bit 
generous, or isn't it??    (03)

and do you all DO read those messages anyway?? :-)    (04)
