John,

Could you point me to the place where entities are allowed membership in the IEEE cpmputer society? I went to the www.computer.org web site and did not find a class of membership for entity. The only membership classes I found were for member, affiliate, associate and student.

| The IEEE Computer Society, under which the DASC is recognized, has
membership defined as individuals and entities. Your statement that the
DASC should be limited to individuals is not congruent with the sponsor's
policies and procedures.

| I agree with this: IEEE is an organization of individuals.
| Corporations can join EDAC or a similar group. If invited to "join" DASC,
they should get a free ride on the membership fees of the person(s)
representing them.

| DASC is about as big as five typical IEEE SA working groups. DASC-SC is
smaller than most working groups.
| Why should the DASC budget exceed that of a working group?
