== What we do ==
We administer the membership register with the help of [[osm:Foundation/CiviCRM|CiviCRM]]. We answer routine questions like what kind of membership do I have ([[Membership#Normal_Members|normal]] or [[Membership#Associate_Members|associate]]) or when will I need to renew. We also do the manual work for matching bank transfers with memberships for new sign ups and renewals. And sometimes we need to sort out other problems regarding sign up or renewal. Payments via paypalPayPal are automatic, there we don't need to do anything as long as everything works correctly.
 
We also process the fee[https://join.osmfoundation.org/active-waivercontributor-membership/ active contributor membership] applications as far as we have formal rules, like checking if the applicant is an active mapper.
 
The [https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/osmf-talk osmf-talk mailinglistmailing list] is specifically for OSMF members only. Therefore new subscriptions are moderated by us, and we will check that the subscriber has a valid OSMF membership.
 
== Who we are ==
▲The Membership Working Group ishas notthe chargedfollowing withvolunteers:
 
* Steve Friedl
* Michael Spreng
* Jonathan Witcoski
* Ilya Zverev
* Guillaume Rischard (also on OSMF [[Officers_%26_Board|board]])
* Thomas Barris
* Taylor Higgins
We are always open to new members, whether to take part regularly or to work on a particular issue. Especially the topic of growing the membership is big and we feel like we didn't even scratch the surface there. We recommend to have at least one day per month available for effectively contributing to the membership working group.
 
Before joining the membership working group you are required to sign a NDAnon-disclosure agreement with the OSMF, as we handle confidential information of the membership register as part of our duties. However, you don't need to be formally part of the membership working group to work on topics, for example regarding growing the membership. Any form of collaboration is welcome.
