This was intentionally introduced on 27 Sep when we attempted to resolve some disagreement by consolidating two membership tiers into a single tier. Since one key idea is to keep a low barrier to entry, while still maintaining some control over the membership process, this was changed from "*any member may nominate...*" to "*anybody can nominate...*" so that we're avoiding an "inner circle" situation. I don't think it's especially odd that anybody in the whole world can nominate (including self-nomination). If someone meets our eligibility criteria, and wishes to become a member, then we should welcome them as members regardless of who they know. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In OSMF you just pay, in OSGeo you go to a website and create yourself an account. Thanks everyone for their hard work on this document, I think it is a wonderful result from a series of well considered compromises and thoughtful, experience-based input.

I hope it's resulted in a good outcome that works for this community. At the end of the day, we're just finding ways to express how we work together, which we already do well. Time will tell, and we can always adjust what's not working. So, OSGeo Oceania board, over to you. The motion is: *We ratify and adopt the attached draft membership policy.* Your earliest response would be great, ideally in the next day or 2. Thanks!
