This would require a change in the bylaws. Currently the only difference allowed between Volunteer Active members (who don't pay at all) and Contributing Active members is the entitlement to vote for the Contributing Member Representative in the next elections.
I don't think that this is accurate. While specifying different voting rights is a normal element in by-laws, making that an exclusive right would be unusual. If Mav's idea were to go ahead, I'm sure that we could easily find ways around that kind of restrictions. The proposal distinguishes between levels of payment rather than whether or not there should be a payment.
