[Referendum] Apple Dev Membership renewal reimbursement, 2020

Proposal: --------- Reimburse RdH for membership renewal expenses for Apple's developer program. This is estimated to cost 99€.
- [ ] a. Yes, reimburse membership renewal for RdH - [ ] b. Apply for Apple's non-profit fee waver, via SFC. Allow RdH's membership to lapse for now. - [ ] c. No, cease participation in Apple's developer program for now. - [ ] d. Other: ____
Votes: ------
| Board Member | 1. | | -------------------- |:--:| | Bryce Harrington | | | Josh Andler | | | Tavmjong Bah | | | Ted Gould | | | Martin Owens | | | Marc Jeanmougin | | | Chris Rogers | |
Resolution: -----------
Background: -----------
For producing and signing notarized releases for MacOS, Apple requires membership in their developer program. RdH self-funded his membership in 2019, and used it to produce the native macOS Inkscape packages for version 1.0. His membership expires 8th of June, 2020.
Apple also has a fee waver option that we could try to apply for, although we would likely require SFC to place the application. This may require more time and paperwork. Also it is unknown if this would impact Inkscape's fundraising efforts for the platform.

a: We probably want a "normal" membership in case we would want to monetize stuff on their store. But I'm also in favour of investigating what could be done on the non-profit part ^^
