When proposing a new project, the member cap should reflect the project's current scope and maturity. Projects that wish to increase their cap must submit a separate PR with justification for the increase. This allows the Guild to maintain oversight of membership growth while ensuring each project has the resources it needs to contribute effectively to the protocol.
+For the purpose of member caps, contributors with partial weight (0.5x) count as 0.5 towards their project's cap. For example, a project with a cap of 10 could include 8 full-weight members (counting as 8) and 4 partial-weight members (counting as 2) for a total of 10.

Projects that have reached their member cap must submit a PR to increase their cap before adding new members. The PR should include:
- Current number of members and their roles
- Justification for increasing the cap
