My original intent, which I thought I had expressed clearly in previous discussions, is a more fundamental issue with the Associate Membership category: lack of value addition. This issue is a parent issue to the proposed clarifying text. It must be addressed first to pave way for, and inform any clarifying text on Associate Membership in the bylaws. Now just to be clear, I am not advocating for voting rights per se. What I am advocating for is value addition for every membership category. The idea of a membership category that collects fees but offers no value in return just doesn't sit well with me. My proposal is that we find substantial value for this category. If we can't, I believe the membership category makes no sense and should effectively be dropped all together. I hope this provides more clarity on my views.
