What are the requirements for a person to join the Product Safety Engineering Society (PSES) as an affiliate? Is this offer open only to members of certain societies, such as iNARTE, whose home page at http://www.narte.org/ shows PSES as an Affiliated Professional Organization? (Please list any qualifying societies.) If a person belongs to iNARTE, do they have to be an iNARTE-Certified Product Safety Engineer or Product Safety Technician, or is membership in iNARTE with any Certification(s) sufficient? > The cost is approximately half of what a full member of the IEEE > would cost. ... Affiliate part of the Dues are show below. Add on > the society fee (to the amount show below) of $35 for full year (after > August 16) or $17.25 for a half year. What would the total cost be for a person to join the PSES as an affiliate: * Before August 16, 2009 (half-year membership)? * After August 16, 2009 (full-year membership)? > IEEE Region 7, GST 67.73 33.87 > IEEE Region 7, HST 72.89 36.45 The IEEE Region map at http://www.ieee.org/web/geo_activities/home/world_reg.html shows Region 7 of the IEEE as Canada. The web page at http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/gp/rc4027/rc4027-09e.pdf talks about a harmonized sales tax (HST) for Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Labrador, and a national goods and services tax (GST), separate from the provincial taxes, for the rest of Canada. Are these the GST and HST in your table? Thanks! John Barnes KS4GL, PE, NCE, NCT, ESDC Eng, ESDC Tech, PSE, SM IEEE dBi Corporation Lexington, KY http://www.dbicorporation.com/
