I believe the current President of SVLUG can answer that question for you.
Whether he answers it to your satisfaction is another matter...

I regret that the governance meeting didn't get the opportunity to broach
the subject of defining membership, because I intended to bring up the
fact that EBMUG independently arrived at a rather identical definition to
the current SVLUG definition, with the only perceptible difference being
that EBMUG's membership roster is much more well-documented. As José
Medeiros can attest, that organization can also count me as a member,
however loosely.
