This is different to HOT membership as to be a member for OSMF you had
to pay £15 (sterling) or apply for an exemption on an individual basis
(whereas for HOT, you need to be nominated). This fee was regardless of
whether £15 was a lot of money or not much money wherever you were from.
The new rules look to reward contribution to the OSM project, not just
whether you can spare the cash.
The OSMF will also automatically waive the fee if you are from a country
which cannot send money to the UK (e.g. if you're in Iran)
The list is here: https://join.osmfoundation.org/fee-waiver-program/
If £15 is a lot of money, you can apply for a fee waiver under the
“financial hardship” scheme.
Both of these programmes have been running successfully for more than a
year, and are separate from this proposed system
