Implementation for active contributor membership

We have drafted new procedures for handling the active contributor membership https://mwg.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Procedures/New_Fee_Waiver

We have decided to make the switch as soon as possible

New and changed text for the website and the mails was gathered: https://hackmd.io/fBxszUndQOGmpRbYD_ParQ

Oauth for civicrm

Take up again hiring someone to make it happen (Jon Goldberg?)

Fee-waiver applications from US

Ther are regularly applications that read like you have to be a member of the osmf to map. With high probability, those are just spam applications. Nevertheless we want to add a sentence to the workflow message that you do not need to be an OSMF member to contribute to OSM.

Long term

membership prerequisites and transparency: We discussed a "skin in the game" requirement to be able to vote in the OSMF.

When to make the switch?

OTRS changes

- we need Paul, but after we finish the one OTRS text and is OK if after we actually launch the program

CiviCRM

- oauth: would make life much easier, but not essential before launch

WordPress

- Contact form

- The text pages: all good, just review

oauth for civicrm: take up again hiring someone to make it happen (Jon Goldberg?)

fee-waiver applications from US which read like you have to be a member

of the osmf to map, just spam? They usually enter their address in the

user name field.
