As any such application would have to be sent to someone who is currently a member, the Committee having either resigned from both the Committee and the AFFS, or refusing to state if they are paid up members, that being the case why don't you try sending me an application, stating clearly your reasons for wanting to join, to the address I gave on Friday. 4. MEMBERSHIP (a) Full membership of the Association shall be open to: (1) Individuals of 18 years and over who are interested in furthering the work of the Association and who have paid the annual subscription as laid down from time to time by the Executive Committee hereinafter mentioned, and (2) National, international and local voluntary or other non-profit distributing organisations, whether corporate or unincorporated, which are interested in furthering the said work and have paid the annual subscription as aforesaid. (b) Each member organisation shall appoint one individual person to represent it and vote on its behalf at General Meetings of the Association. In the event of such individual person resigning or otherwise leaving an organisation, he or she shall forthwith cease to be a representative thereof. (c) Each member organisation may appoint a deputy to replace its appointed representative if the latter is unable to attend any particular meeting of the Association. (d) Honorary members may be appointed at the discretion of the said Executive Committee. Honorary members shall not be entitled to vote. (e) The said Executive Committee shall have the right: (1) To approve or reject applications for membership, and (2) For good and sufficient reason to terminate the membership of any individual or organisation provided that the individual member concerned or the individual representing such organisation (as the case may be) shall have the right to be heard by the said Executive Committee before a final decision is made. -- John Seago GNU/Linux Registered User No. #219566 http://counter.li.org/ _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
