</span>Sugar Labs is a voluntary organisation with membership that shifts and<br>
changes over time. Members can join at any time, members can leave at<br>
any time. Members cannot be compelled to work in the way you<br>
describe. The only influence the board can have is to remove barriers<br>
to projects, and there are very few barriers the board can control.<br>
