Paying the local SIG for a "year membership" in SDCS and then losing that membership when the SIG leaves would seem to be a bad thing to do... either prorate the membership and issue a refund, or leave 'em be as members until the membership expires. > That said, as soon as SDMUG goes away, all members of the Board that > were in SDMUG and only SDMUG are no longer eligible to hold Board seats. > That could leave a very empty Board. Yup. And if KPLUG fills those seats, are folks going to complain of a KPLUG coup? > It would also make some very angry ex-board members for them to be told > this when SDMUG turns over their assets.
