> Hello OSMF members,
>
> To follow up from my email of 11th October 2020¹, here's a more detailed draft of a change to OSMF's fee schedule to allow people from the OSMF Active Contributor Programme to choose regular/full membership, rather than currently where they get only associate membership.
>
> Old version:
>
>> The membership fee for associate membership, which normally is tied to the regular membership fee, may be waived if the person applying for membership can demonstrate that they have consistently made sizeable contributions to OpenStreetMap, for example by mapping.
>>
> The OSMF Membership Working Group will, together with the Board of Directors, define what counts as “sizeable contributions”.
> Just like paid membership, membership under the membership fee waiver programme must be renewed annually.
>
> New version:
>
>> The membership fee for regular or associate membership may be waived if the person applying for membership can demonstrate that they have consistently made sizeable contributions to OpenStreetMap, for example by mapping.
>>
> The OSMF Membership Working Group will, together with the Board of Directors, define what counts as “sizeable contributions”.
> The applicant chooses between regular membership or associate membership when applying.
> Membership under the membership fee waiver programme must be renewed annually.

> Combined diff:
>
>> The membership fee for ++regular or++ associate membership ~~, which normally is tied to the regular membership fee,~~ may be waived if the person applying for membership can demonstrate that they have consistently made sizeable contributions to OpenStreetMap, for example by mapping.

> This is currently just an idea. This may, or may not, be the final text. The board might not even propose this. Please provide feedback.

> You can reply to this email publicly to the osmf-talk@ list, or you can contact the boar privately (board at osmfoundation.org). Please state if you would like us to treat your email as confidential. Please feel able tell other OSMF members about this topic.
