In the NARALO rules,they are referred to as "unaffiliated individuals", but oncethey join NARALO, the term "unaffiliated member" has beenused. You are correct that "unaffiliated member" is somewhat of acontradiction in that members are implicitly "affiliated" withthe group of which they are a member. It has never been mentioned before,but perhaps it needs to be rethought as we move to having such a categoryin all RALOs.

But my question is how And why would you become an unaffiliated member? I was firstaccepted as the individual member of apralo. Then they said I become anobserver cause apralo didn't accept indivudal members and didn't have therules in place . now an unaffiliated member ... Unafiliated memberis an oxymoron however you want to define it. Voting non voting member.... The term just doesn't sound right.
