I just found the minutes of the last General Assembly of Proveg e.V.: https://proveg.com/de/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/12/Protokoll-der-Mitgliedervollversammlung-am-10.11.2018-1.pdf (sorry, only in German). I noticed two interesting points: 1. Appearantly, Proveg has just introduced a "supporting membership" (in German Fördermitgliedschaft), i.e. pretty much exactly what the supporter status is right now with FSFE. 2. According to the minutes, the organisation has 15.000 members, of which 36 (!) attended the General Assembly. So while Proveg calles all those 15.000 members, de facto 99.8% of them are financial supporters. Personally, I do agree with you that the membership base of the legal skeleton of FSFE (the FSFE e.V.) should be broadened, but I am a strong supporter of the strategy that membership in this body should be a privilege of those actively contributing to the work of the organisation. You are highly welcome to join through this path, as is everybody else, there are numerous fields within FSFE in which you can engage.
