Re: [AGA SC] Membership and Registration Qualifications

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

We had talked about making membership in either DFWAPC *or* AGA a
requirement for convention registration (kind of the way the ACA works its
conventions).  I don't know why it was dropped exactly, but had it gone 
through it would have been (a) a bookkeeping pain, and (b) somewhat of an 
imbalance because of the nearly-free membership fees for DFWAPC ($5).

So we could also float the requirement of membership in either AGA or
GWAPA as requirement.  Or perhaps allow existing GWAPA members to attend,
but non-members must join the AGA?
