[Steven Feldman]

I have just noticed that my OSMF membership renewal was processed through {PayPal in July but I have not received a confirmation as usual.

> Dear OSMF members,
> 
> I?d like to inform you about two separate issues detected regarding our membership software that can affect the upcoming OSMF Board Elections.
> 
> Issue 1: As we became aware from the last election, some members who are eligible to vote did not receive a ballot due to a bug in our membership management software and PayPal payments.
>    * The Board (Sarah and I) are working with the Membership WG to detect and monitor potentially affected renewal.
>    * A consultant is also working on the issue.
>    * We will notify everybody when ballots are sent out, so that you make sure, you receive your ballot and let us know if there are issues.
> Issue 2: As mentioned during board meetings, it was discovered that active contributor memberships were automatically granted after people applied, even in cases where they were not eligible (number of mapping days in past 365 days less than 42).
>    * The software bug has been recently fixed.
>    * The Board and the Membership WG will notify affected applications. We hope to do this by the end of this week.
> Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
