- We recognize the importance of the people who like and use shareware and,
- more importantly, that recommend shareware to others. These Friends of
- Shareware are invited to join the ASP.
-
- Here's the rules in detail with commentary:
-
- - All applicants and Associate Members must be, and continue to be, people
- dedicated to the advancement of the shareware principle and the
- supportive of the aims and goals of the ASP.
-
- - All Associate Members will receive a subscription to the ASPects
- monthly newsletter and have access to the members only Sections and
- Libraries 10, 11, and 12 of the ASPFORUM on CompuServe. They will also
- receive the back issues of ASPects on disk.
-
- 10 is for Member-to-Member communication of business and programming
- questions, offers, and general discussion.
-
- 11 is for Policy and ASP Political topics. The ASP is an evolving
- organization and there is always lively discussion here.
-
- 12 is for Official Business. ASP Membership meetings are conducted here.
- Election of officers and all rules are debated here before voting. As
- Associate members, you are invited to take part in these talks.
-
- - A list of Associate Members will be kept current and made available to
- ASP Members and the public.
-
- - All Associate Member applications will be reviewed by a committee that
- will judge whether the minimum requirements are met. If there is a
- negative disposition, the Board of Directors will automatically review
- the committee's actions.
-
- - $50/year dues - prorated 1/2 for members joining after September 1.
- Dues billing is done in January of each year. We recognize that Friends
- of Shareware do plenty to help the ASP in many ways but the ASP is
- member-funded and composed of many small businesspeople. The dues for
- Friends of Shareware Members is aimed to cover the cost of ASPects and
- administrative costs.
-
- - In case of a rejection for Associate Membership, the submitted dues will
- be returned minus a $15 processing fee.
-
- - At the minimum, the applicant must be a user and/or promoter of
- shareware. This Membership category is aimed at corporate MIS people,
- educators, consultants, VARs, etc. but is not closed to user enthusiasts.
-
- - The Membership Committee will receive any materials available which
- will help the process. An interview with the applicant will probably
- take place before acceptance.
-
- - Associate Members are Non-Voting members of the ASP.
-
- Other items of interest:
-
- At the time of this writing, the ASP is working on two major projects, a
- printed catalog and a CD-ROM of ASP Authors works. We expect that these
- materials will be available to Associate Members at reduced cost.
