From: Danny Younger [mailto:dannyyounger@yahoo.com] The NARALO's New Constituency Working Group seeks to post information on membership fees for individuals that seek to join the established GNSO constituencies. It would be appreciated if this information and any other pertinent requirements for individual membership in the NCUC could be relayed to us.
Danny: (I am copying Robin, who Chairs the NCUC, and Adam and Beau so that this information can be forwarded directly to the NARALO WG list) The membership fee of NCUC is of limited relevance because NCUC has only a few more months of existence before it dissolves under the new NCSG and an integrated membership system is instituted. Under that new structure, which as you know remains to be confirmed, I am not sure whether there will even be membership fees. Fees that are large enough to actually finance NCSG activities would keep out many members; fees that are small enough to not prevent people from joining add such a trivial amount to the budget that they are hardly worth the bother. But that issue remains to be resolved. For those who might want to join NCUC in the next few months, To answer your question directly, membershiop fees are stated directly on www.ncdnhc.org website membership forms: Small organization: $50 (fee can be waived by Exec. Comm. Decision if requested and organization shows budget problems or currency conversion issues.) Large organizations: $100 Provisional individual membership: free. See the NCUVC charter for definitions of small and large organizatons, and eligibility requirements. If between now and June any organizations wish to join I suspect that the Executive Committee would waive fees if asked, because of the impending change in structure.
