It is correct that VPs (e.g.  PMC chairs) are not necessarily Members,
though it is common that such individuals are nominated for membership at

If we made foundation membership a requirement for PMC chairs we would be
limiting the project communities choice for the role of chair based on
foundational merit. That would not be appropriate.
