[Osmf-talk] Survey plans on membership prerequisites decision

[Nick Allen]

Hi,

I think it needs to be more open in terms of 'contribution' - if we have 
someone who is very keen to see OSM continue to succeed, but their area 
of interest is the legal side of things, on which they give advice or 
guidance, then that is acceptable to me. But does it need to be wider 
than that, and if so, what sort of contribution is acceptable and over 
what period of time?

Regards

Nick (Tallguy)
