| The OSMF membership voted in 2020-12 and [[Annual_General_Meetings/2020/Suggested_resolutions#Vote_2:_Amend_OSMF_Fee_Schedule_to_allow_Active_Contributor_Awardees_to_receive_.28regular.29_OSMF_membership.2C_rather_than_just_associate_membership|decided]] to allow Active Contributor awardees to receive ([[Membership#Normal%20Members|regular]]) OSMF membership, rather than just [[Membership#Associate_Members|associate]] membership.
The volunteers of the [[Membership_Working_Group|Membership Working Group]] are working on implementing this decision. If you would like to help them, please email mwg@osmfoundation.org
'''Background'''<br>
The OSMF's [[Membership/Active_contributor_membership|Active Contributor Programme]] started last year, and it grants free OSMF [[Membership#Associate_Members|associate]] membership (rather than [[Membership#Normal%20Members|normal]] membership) to people who “can demonstrate that they have consistently made sizeable contributions to OpenStreetMap”. By default, if you have made a map edit to OSM on at least 42 days in the past 365 days, you can become a member. Otherwise the Board can look at your non-mapping contributions
Initially this program only granted people [[Membership#Associate%20Members|associate membership]] of the Foundation, rather than ([[Membership#Normal%20Members|regular]]) membership. Associate membership is nearly identical, but there are some legal differences, like a requirement to give the Foundation your address. Importantly, associate members are not legally members of the Foundation, and cannot be elected to the Board, nor vote on changes to the Foundation's [[Articles_of_Association|Articles of Association]]. The volunteers of the [[Membership_Working_Group|Membership Working Group]] are working on implementing the 2020 decision to allow Active Contributor awardees to receive normal membership.
