Please don't overreact to this, it's all discussion and working towards a
proposal.  Nothings decided.  But we need to get a feel from the membership on
this.  As a member, I actually have no problem with this portion of the
discussion.  In the ACM, isn't it true that only full members can vote?

I wanted to address this.  Please note:  THE DECUS NEWSLETTERS NO LONGER EXIST. 
The October issue will be THE LAST!  Everyone with a newsletter subscription
(and there are not very many) will get a DECUServe subscription in its place
(or can demand cash back).  Start a new topic if you want to discuss this :-)

This membership fee could turn out to be the difference between getting the 12
page registration pamphlet for Symposia or the 100 page abstracts packet, for
all I know.
