You may search this lists archive about comments I gave in the past. I 
have repeatedly asked for more openness and better inclusion of the 
community in such important topics such as a license change. For example 
the osmf-talk list was a result of complains I had in the past (at least 
it appeared after discussions on this list about the openness of the OSMF).

Is it a requirement to be a member of the OSMF, regular taking part at 
the SOTM and/or actively taking part in the legal-talk list to raise my 
voice about things that are not well done IMHO?

In my opinion: yes. Simply because it is *known* by anyone interested.
