I would have no problem if a member does not say a single word to anyone else, but simply produces on his own time. And although it doesn't say 24/7 access, in my opinion that is implied. BTW I can't find the bylaws on the website, can you point me in the right direction. >> There is always a chance that we could get cleaned out on any level, >>this is why we have a membership process. >> Essentially you are suggesting is to raise membership dues for a base >>right.

As much as I am aware of this procedure, the discussion is taking place right before opening day, where we will most likely have member recruitment, what is our message to them? Full member will maybe get you 24 hour access? Also what about the members that signed up as full members and expect to have 24 hr access? Will we no longer honor their expectations? This discussion comes at a very inopportune time and at least we will need to be on message for the 5th.
