- 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?
