I agree with this approach.  A $10 membership fee should be more than 
enough to cover the costs of administering memberships, including 
reminder mailings at the end of a year.  I expect that when we are able 
to receive tax-creditable donations, membership fees will only be a tiny 
segment of our revenue.  The most significant reason for charging 
membership fees at all is for keeping track of members.  People who 
can't be bothered to pay a small annual fee provide us with a convenient 
criterion for dropping them from the membership lists.

In the spirit of openness official documents should be posted unless 
there is a legal impediment against it.
