Do we have a model for PLUG the organization? Take, for instance, the Computer Manufacturers, Dealers, and Distributors Association of the Philippines (COMMDAP). COMMDAP has a small secretariat of maybe five people who hold office in SEDDCO Bldg in Legazpi Village and so they have a real mailing address. We best know COMMDAP for the eponymous exhibit that takes place about the 4th quarter of the year. COMMDAP also has an outreach program that they don't publicize for a reason I can't quite understand. They have rather stringent membership requirements. I have only a vague recollection of the reason so I won't attempt an answer. Perhaps someone who's more familiar with the inner workings of COMMDAP can chime in?
Point is, we don't have to start from scratch, we can look at other computer industry associations and study how they operate. -- Daniel O.
