<VV> non CORSA filing fees

[Bill Hubbell]

Actually, Hank, the filing fee SHOULD be ZERO because the members of each
chapter SHOULD be paying dues to CORSA.   According to the CORSA Bylaws:

-----------------------
Article VI Section 2: Chapters
Groups of Society members who meet the geographic and membership
requirements of the Society Chapter Plan will be chartered as a chapter of
the Society. Organizational requirements of a group forming a local chapter,
the responsibilities of the Society in this relationship, and benefits to
the chapter will be defined in an operating policy of the Society called the
Chapter Plan. There will be no charge to the local chapter, beyond dues of
members, for the privilege of chapter status.
-------------------------

Many have touted the filing fee as the justification for allowing chapters
to have less than 100% membership, but the fee is in fact a violation of the
Bylaws.  It seems clear to me that the Bylaws were written with the
intention that Chapters would pay their CORSA bill by way of dues charged to
their members, and that certainly implies that those members would be CORSA
members or, at the very least, that a portion of their chapter dues would be
payable to CORSA.

Simply put, the Chapter Plan is in violation of the CORSA Bylaws.  

The CORSA board should fix this by either changing the Chapter plan (a
simple majority vote of the Board) or by amending the CORSA Bylaws (not so
easy).

IT OUGHT TO BE 500-1000.00.  If chapters want to keep non-CORSA members on
their roster, they should pay dearly for that privilige.  

Will CORSA put it's foot down?  Or just continue to financially re-arrange
the deck charis on the Titanic so they don't lose members who don't pay? 

Why am I explaining this to adults?
