After researching those questions a few weeks ago, I added this to the wiki:
( http://www.lojban.org/tiki/The+Logical+Language+Group#Becoming_a_member )

Becoming a member

According to the bylaws 
<http://www.lojban.org/tiki/Bylaws+of+The+Logical+Language+Group%2C+Inc.>, 
"persons may be named members upon recommendation for membership by any 
member and by election by a majority of all the members of the Corporation, 
in person or by proxy." 

The bylaws specify the following qualifications:

   - competence in fields including linguistics, psychology, philosophy, 
   logic, mathematics, computer science, anthropology, sociology, education, 
   and human biology
   - high personal dedication to the purposes of The Logical Language Group 
   as specified in the bylaws  

At the 2011 annual meeting 
<http://www.lojban.org/tiki/LLG+Meeting+Summary+2011>, lojbab 
<http://www.lojban.org/tiki/Bob+LeChevalier> proposed the following 
criteria by which prospective members may be deemed eligible to join the 
organization as voting members:

   1. Working on a project for an extended period of time, especially one 
   requiring coordination with other lojbanists
   2. Assumption of responsibility for non-language chores, such as web 
   site maintenance
   3. Activity promoting lojban or recruiting lojbanists, such as 
   presenting or teaching the language
   4. Being familiar with the bylaws, and taking the initiative to ask for 
   membership at a meeting
   5. Participating in a meeting as a non-voting member

The proposal and approval of new members is one of the items of regular 
business at each annual meeting <http://www.lojban.org/tiki/LLG+Meetings>.
