On a conference on DCS and DECUServe, a DECUS leader has begun a topic discussing charging a fee for membership in DECUS. It sounds like a proposal is gelling to have two types of member, a "full" and an "associate", where the "full" gets things like DECUScope, can vote, etc. and pays the membership fee, while an "associate" only gets notification of symposium and other such revenue generating DECUS products. This appears to be a cost-cutting proposal (and tree saving), as it seems to be expensive to mail EVERYTHING to all 50,000 US members but only have a small percentage actually care. Anyone care to comment on this? -- Don Roberts Internet: don@beckman.com Beckman Instruments, Inc. Phone: 714/961-3029 2500 Harbor Bl.
