Implementation for active contributor membership
We have drafted new procedures for handling the active contributor membership https://mwg.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Procedures/New_Fee_Waiver
We have decided to make the switch as soon as possible
New and changed text for the website and the mails was gathered: https://hackmd.io/fBxszUndQOGmpRbYD_ParQ
Oauth for civicrm
Take up again hiring someone to make it happen (Jon Goldberg?)
Fee-waiver applications from US
Ther are regularly applications that read like you have to be a member of the osmf to map. With high probability, those are just spam applications. Nevertheless we want to add a sentence to the workflow message that you do not need to be an OSMF member to contribute to OSM.
Long term
membership prerequisites and transparency: We discussed a "skin in the game" requirement to be able to vote in the OSMF.
