    <p>To clarify: the current difference wrt governance is that
      associate members can't vote on AoA changes and can't be elected
      to the board, they can however participate in elections and other
      (non-AoA matter) votes. Normal members can naturally do all of the
      above.</p>

Mateusz is right. Active Contributor Associate Members are equal to
Associate Members regarding voting.

We (the Membership Working Group) are working on accepting Active
Contributor Normal Members which should be equal to Normal members
regarding voting.

basically
everyone is encouraged to join.
