The statement in the post you referred to is incorrect and has been 
repeated elsewhere off-list, which is why I sent out the clarification.

No. I was a CC of just the Tools CG.  When I resigned from the Tools CG 
as a Core Contributor I also by definition resigned as an OpenSolaris 
Member as I only had a CC grant from the Tools CG.  If I had another CC 
grant from another CG then I would have remained a Member as long as I 
held that additional grant.  This is all set out in Article IV Sections 
4.2 & 4.3 of the Constitution.

"persons shall be admitted as Members of the OpenSolaris Community upon 
accepting the designation of Core Contributor for one or more 
OpenSolaris Groups"

"A Member's membership shall be terminated upon the expiration of all 
prior grants of Core Contributor status or upon his or her earlier 
resignation, removal, or death."
