If you are an active OpenStreetMap contributor (<u>with at least 42 mapping days in the last year or other contributions</u>) you should have a voice in the OpenStreetMap Foundation, which is supporting the project, and be able to vote for the board members of your choice. There is now an easier and costless way to become an OpenStreetMap Foundation member: the [[Membership_Working_Group|Membership Working Group]] has launched the [[Membership/Active_contributor_membership| active contributor membership program]], where you can easily apply to become an Associate member of the Foundation and there is no need to pay the membership fee.
