The Gumroad approach looks good. We can always do it on an application basis. When people submit a PR to add themselves as a member, they can say they would like a PPP adjustment, and we ask them to promise they're not claiming the adjustment unfairly (whatever that means).
There's also an approach where we can contact several countries' FOSS foundations where they can partner and help us with purchasing power disparities.

The Pledge is starting with a US-centric approach, focusing primarily on US tech companies and anchoring on $2,000 per FTE dev per year as our minimum.
How should we think about adapting the Pledge to other markets and economies?
Here's how Gumroad does it.
Here's a pretty standard cost-of-living comparison website.
If we define different baselines for different markets, companies with subsidiaries in multiple markets could report based on the most favorable. But the whole thing is based on good-faith self-reporting, so probably don't need to overthink it.
