I am able to pay for my membership, but I normally dont spend money on
membership because I spend so much time on things. I am willing to serve on
the board if we find a way to pay for my membership, and if we are in that
mood, we can also ask for membership for my kosovo team, if someone wants to
donate some money.

Anyway, maybe what we need is some push for a "communal" seat that has one
vote and represents all of the people who are contributors. that would be my
suggestion.
