Future of our Open Collective - xmpp foundation wants to support only Prav due to high fees

Since current fee for XSF as fiscal host (to be paid to Open Source Collective) is 60 usd per month, XSF wants to support only Prav - which would make them eligible for free tier.

Some options,

  1. Move our collective as a project under prav. Prav bye laws already has supporting similar projects in bye-laws. See point 17 at https://codeberg.org/prav/bye-laws/src/branch/main/bye-laws.md#5-objectives-and-functions

  2. Move to Open Source collective as fiscal host, this would mean 10% fees.

  3. Move to Liberapay.

At present it seems, merging under Prav is the best option, OSC charges 10% host fees, and Librepay is not well supported in India.
