About the rules, I agree with you and really like your initiative, but I feel like unless we have a more automated way to vote the rules will still be broken. It's not so easy to follow and remember them all all the time and some of them require that people cooperate which could be hard.

As for registered membership that would be a great topic to solve rather soon I think. It will be hard, it'll bring the topic of gatekeeping, but I feel like if OpenNIC wants to be taken seriously and have some "proper" membership we should require more than sending an email. For one, membership probably shouldn't be anonymous, and I also think that members (as in, people with voting power) should maybe be required to somehow actively support the project - non-profits usually do this by requiring a membership fee, we could substitute or supply it with maybe either a fee or running a T2 server or something. But that opens another huge can of worms in and of itself. So yeah... Just something to think about.

I do agree that we need a definition for membership, but that’s not something I’m addressing here and clearly a separate discussion is to be had on the matter. I’m not sure how that would influence the current vote. 

It’s an odd phenomenon I’ve noticed here, everyone seems to think that we’re some small community that needs no official rules because we know what we’re doing, while it’s been proven time and time again that we aren’t, and clearly rules need to be established.
