Not particularly well defined rules then :P

I'd imagine something like:
* if reactivation request arrives within a 2 week window -> reactivate
* else reinterview

This does not help when someone misreads the mail (quite frankly IIRC
there are *multiple* mails, so that is a bit of a special case
anyway). It however prevents us from reactivating membership of people
who are no longer actual members of the community for reasons without
"merit".

I feel the 2 weeks rule is simple enough and yet efficient enough to
not introduce overhead or anything.

Also, should someone think that the 2 week window can also be abused -
yes - but as generally the council can take appropriate steps in such
cases, i do not think it is much of a problem. The 2 week window
essentially just enables one single council member to take action
without having to consult a quorumish amount of other council members
;)

regards,
Harald
