I was just thinking about the annual district meeting and what not. Who are voting members? Past members-at-large? 

The text book answer is: CORs, the District Key 3, Members-at-Large, People registered in function roles (advancement committee members, training committee members, etc ... ). 

I've never seen it done by-the-text-book though. My personal opinion is evolving into the opinion that DE's never even try to run it by the text book because they don't want a committee complicating their unilateral approaches to everything.

Now that CORs aren't automatically given a vote? I wonder if that translates down to the district? So, it would be the same potentially minus CORs. It is just funny that the same group would potentially vote themselves in.

Every time I have seen a structured removal of voting ability or removal of input ability it was caused by the ruling bodies desire to remove or reduce dissent to a pending action. I've seen this in other non-profits and in local governments. This type of action always preceded a controversial policy change.  I wonder if this is the fallout of the Nassau and Norfolk councils voting to not merge and then being forced to after all of Long Island scouting went bankrupt? There are a lot of councils just digging in and refusing to be part of the team right now. Is this a mechanism to remove the dissent at the various localish levels?

Concur with your assessment.  My extended guess... National wants to move more rapidly with consolidation of councils, and this will prepare the way...
