Thanks, Tim! I had forgotten about that part of the by-laws.

For those wondering when 180 days before the voting period is, that's
July 18th 2012. As the initial call for individuals to join the
Foundation was issued on July 19th, I guess only people who became
member in the 30 days after the COI Effective Date will be able to vote
in January.

(I can't find the COI Effective Date, but I assume it's July 16th, since
people could join until August 15th to be able to participate in the
first elections)

Cheers,

Vincent
