[Osmf-talk] Membership fee waiver

[Christoph Hormann]

Wanted to add that it has been noted in the past - for example in 

https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2017-September/thread.html#4219

that a waiver program where you need to apply still poses significant 
discriminatory hurdles for people to become a member and is of rather 
limited help to ensure a proportional representation of the OSM 
community in the OSMF.  Specific suggestions have been made back in 
September 2017 (in that thread and the next one) how to address that.  
A simple solution not relying on a complex application process would 
also help reducing the workload for the MWG.
