Subject: Latest DASC membership list from IEEE-CS

Dear people,
Attached is the current DASC membership list as received from our
IEEE-CS administrator (John Daniel) less than two hours ago.
I have some questions about some of the information contained in this
list; specifically (but not necessarily limited to:
1. I don't know whether we can consider the first entry (that for
Jenjen Tiao) current. According to the list, he paid in 2/02, which
would seem to make him a member for '02.
According to our IEEE-CS administrator this date is accurate and he
should not be on the list.
2. However, I do question the dates, which might reflect when the
request was processed, and not when it was received. In my own case, my
records indicate that I sent in a check on 12/31/02. However, the
records as received from IEEE-CS indicate that I paid by credit card in
2/03. In looking at the check, I see that it was cashed on 1/8/03 and
cleared my bank on 1/10/03. I know of at least two other cases on this
list where people feel that the dates recorded do not reflect their
records.
According to John, these dates reflect when John was first notified, not
necessarily when the request was received, as the request is often first
processed by others before John sees it.
Hence, I conclude that although we can probably rely upon the names on
this list as reflective of the current DASC membership, we may not be
able to rely upon the dates as recorded as reflective of the date of
joining.
For the moment, I've ensured that each of the email addresses as
recorded on this list is present on the DASC reflector
(stds-dasc@dasc.org), except for
* my own, which for antispamming reasons I'm delivering to my alias on
dasc.org,
* and Ellis Cohen's, who did not supply an email address. He does have
an alias on dasc.org, so I'm putting that on this list.
I've also removed any duplicates, but if I have an email address on this
list other than your preferred email address, please let me know.
