I think we should set a base price that covers printing of the publications and add to that an estimate of the actual cost of mailing - both plus a small percentage to round out the numbers and for other expenses that come up, such as envelopes, re-mailings, etc. That way the US membership is not subsidizing foreign membership as it has in the past. Everyone pays their fair share. Best, Chuck

Memberships are a big contact the GGA has with it's members. If the membership structure is confusing or problimatic, we loose members. How would you react to this structure? Would a simple two price system work: International membership $45, American membership $40? Maybe by currency : GGA Member - USD $40, Euro 30? Think, think.
