Hi Will,
Your suggestions below pose a dilemma for me because of the time frame.
As you're aware, in preparation for this inaugural meeting in 2 days'
time, the preparatory process to arrive at an acceptable constitution
went through 7 draft revisions, most of the work was done by the protem
On the OSCHA website issue. I am sure there are about 10 people that would
be willing to host the website. For those of us with server resources the
cost approaches zero. It is so easy to transfer a website that the "host"

What Tim's response is what I was eluding to. Here's the relevant
article in the constitution.
*6.1 - * The Committee shall prescribe a list of equitable membership
entrance fee for different countries based on the UNDP’s 2005 Human
Development Index (HDI) of the country. The entrance fee paya

Not really, because the granularity of currency units varies greatly
between countries - consider, for example:
50 Japanese Yen is only U

I believe that OSHCA should be a not-for-profit but not a charitable

I've thought about this comment of Dave Forslund once more.
Perhaps he's right and we should permit any private person to be
Yes, it would be nice if this info was put on the oscha.org web site (or
