Hunnh?

Could you expound upon that?  Normally, I'm not "reading impaired," but
this sounds like a contradiction to me.  Is an Affiliate member of the
IEEE-CS considered a student member of IEEE, or a full member?

What about voting members of the ACM who were asked to join IEEE-CS?
[Yes, I know they're entirely separate organizations, with reciprocal
agreements for reduction of dues.]
