Good evening Kathleen,<br>
<br>
I looked up a definition of a paywall: "A paywall is a system that
prevents Internet users from accessing webpage content without a
paid subscription." [1] <br>
<br>
An e-mail is as good way of communication. It is still used in many
major organizations. The OSMF membership fee is a modest one in
comparison with say jQuery Foundation individual membership fee of
400.- USD annually [2]. And it is not a paid subscription to access
a commercial content.<br>
<br>
I have nothing against a code or guidelines, but I do not see why an
organization cannot have a e-mail system. And I would also agree
that it could be close to impossible to monitor what people say in
social media, especially if they use different human languages or a
national social network <i>du jour</i>.<br>
<br>
With best regards,<br>
Oleksiy<br>
