I like this classification, with one caveat: Only the Treasurer + Board
should be able to define Consensed Members. If this is enshrined in some
sort of system running on Pony, then anyone with sudo will be able to
l33t h4x0r it, but that's probably okay.
One possible issue: if this is somehow stored programatically and used
for Caller-ID access, then there *will* be, on disk, a list of member
pseudonyms and their phone numbers (opt-in, of course). I think the
presence of such a list is okay, and I'm comfortable with my own number
being there, but if someone is offended by the mere presence of such a
list *and* has a better suggestion, I'm all ears.
Otherwise, I'll try and hack this together soon.
I can also think of two decent hacker tests: first, if you can spoof
callerid to be from a specific number on the wiki, then you're okay.
Alternatively, anyone who can generate DTMF A-D is also worthy.
