Last year we introduced "other" members, making membership open to non-students at the discretion of the membership chair. I like the idea of simplifying things by changing this to an eligibility clause under "associate" members, however this leads to a problem: at the moment, "other" members need to pay for 4 years before being eligible for alumni status. If "others" are rolled in with associates, then they become eligible for alumni membership after one year. I'm thinking about ways to fix this, but wanted to post the concern, so it's on record and will hopefully be addressed before any new proposals are put to the membership. --[[User:Matthew|Matthew]] 16:04, 5 January 2009 (PST) | |||

Simplification of membership classes
Last year we introduced "other" members, making membership open to non-students at the discretion of the membership chair. I like the idea of simplifying things by changing this to an eligibility clause under "associate" members, however this leads to a problem: at the moment, "other" members need to pay for 4 years before being eligible for alumni status. If "others" are rolled in with associates, then they become eligible for alumni membership after one year. I'm thinking about ways to fix this, but wanted to post the concern, so it's on record and will hopefully be addressed before any new proposals are put to the membership. --Matthew 16:04, 5 January 2009 (PST)
