afaikt, Fielder is addresslng the issue of supporting the overhead of
AKLUG now, i.e. how or where to send $$. Aklugs corporate status is
firmly in place and has been for a few? years.

I don't mind revisiting issues from time to time, it is a healthy
practise. It seems to me Arthur, you want to revisit our corporate
status.

All Fielder, and other officers have said is how to support our current
structure.

{puts on tinfoil hat}
Nobody has to donate anything. Unless we change the bylaws to try and
EXclude folks :-)
