<div>The ExCom has been cleaning up a few things, updating the membership
form, etc. But clarification on how to join will posted later today.
Basically, submitting the membership form and paying the $750 is all
that is needed to be allowed voting rights, unless their ownership per
our bylaws excludes them.</div>

&nbsp;It seems that paying the $750 <BR>initiation fee should give new
registrars the right to vote, at least <BR>until the ongoing budget is
clarified.<BR><BR>Jordyn </BLOCKQUOTE>
