I've already sent something for that, I like the folowing option:
to the susbcriber to be accepted, it need to be already member of a
local group (localgroup that need to be recognize by pg-eu, to have same
objectives), OR it need to be accepted by the board or a comitee of pg-eu.

In both case subscriber must be a real human to be "active member".

It is only an idea, and it need to be rewrite...

5-

Companies can not be member with the rights to vote and decide (so they
can not be 'active member' but 'benefactor members'). In that case I am
not aware if we can put the fee at a minimum, or if it is welcome ? (see
above)

It seems that we stick at outlook usage.
