Whether or not I think you ought to be able to be an anonymous member
of a corporation, and irregardless of whether this might apply to the
XSF in particular, my loose understanding of corporate law in most
jurisdictions is that the members of a corporation are a matter of
public interest, and are publically available.
In other words, it may not actually matter what opinions we may hold,
nor what the bylaws may state, but what Delaware law says on the
issue, and at this stage, I would feel somewhat uncomfortable
admitting an anonymous member without the board seeking the advice of
someone qualified to offer same.
For the record, though, I would be against anonymous members being
accepted, and on this basis, would be against any expenditure to seek
legal advice.
Dave.
