Hello Michele.

the moment the association does that all the companies supporting the 
association will leave. please read the bylaws of the association to 
understand its sole role: support the product, the market and not the 
end users.

i agree upon that typo3.com needs to be reworked in pointing end users 
to the support schemes, but this will be only able if the separation 
between community (for free) and association members (paid) can be 
achieved in a way that is fair for both.

greetings,
