- 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.
