Mark, "Like I said, it's likely I'm the only one that hasn't heard about ICTAU until now. If that is the case, please don't take offence :-). I thought my participation was being sought on a professional, possibly free-of-charge basis, but certainly didn't expect to be pushing monies out."
It is a bit of a chicken and egg situation. We need to money in part to better promote and sustain the ICTAU. We have reached out in certain cases to offer gratis members for example the committee chair for the LUG and various other non-profits, but we can't sustain it on good will alone. As an active member of AFNOG there would be a case to be made under that banner, but it would need board approval.
