MAAWG is has no size limitations as to members. Yes we do have a $4000 supporter membership. This has not proved a barrier to many organisations.
Likely because for the ones for whom it is a barrier, they look at the cost and don't even bother considering an initial contact. Thus, you never hear about it.
Admittedly, most smaller organizations simply don't have the time to participate in even a handful of the $bignum industry organizations (whether they cost money or not) so that's likely a more substantial barrier.
To be completely clear, it's not clear to me that an organization that cannot afford $4000/year would actually have the resources to participate in a meaningful way anyway. Which is to say that I do not necessarily disagree with the fee structure, and that is speaking from under my "small organization for whom the $4k/year is an insurmountable barrier" hat.
All that said, I believe I have had my say sufficiently so I will not contribute further to the overall noise level on NANOG.
