'''3 votes in favour''': <u>Tobias Knerr</u>, <u>Joost Schouppe</u> ''(I think it's safe to assume this user is doing more stuff for OSM behind the scenes. The [[Membership/Active_contributor_membership|ACM]] information doesn't explicitly state that "other contributions" need to be recent)'', <u>Rory McCann</u> ''(Although there has not been a lot of activity recently, there was a lot in the past. While moving from (I assume) (regular) OSMF membership to associate membership has downsides, it's someone's choice if they want to do that)''. <br>
'''1 abstained''': <u>Mikel Maron</u> ''(I'd like to have more information on non mapping contribution over the last year. Please provide more info or apply again with more detail. With that, don't see an issue).<br>

==== 2020/Res52 Update ban policy to clarify procedures and length of bans ====
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|''The [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Ban_Policy&oldid=4659 current ban policy] doesn't reflect how moderators are able to ban users for longer periods of time.''
 
''In practice, long-term blocks are (rarely) necessary for repeat offenders or grave cases. Before the website allowed this, DWG members had to contact the sysadmins to get these blocks extended manually, which was tedious.''
 
''The proposal is to update the policy to reflect current practice.''
 
''The proposed changes are shown at https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AStereo%2FDraft_ban_policy&type=revision&diff=7653&oldid=7651''
