Re: [Membership] Fees for Organizations

[Mark Measday <measday@ibm.net>]

Dr Quaynor makes a cogent point. Is it possible to clarify whether the proposal
is for organizations qua members to pay, or organizations  who are part of the
other side of the SO structure ? If the blurry distinction between public and
private good has any meaning (and often it doesn't), it needs to be clarified
here.
