Tyson,

Thank you for your post, I will take this oppurtunity to clear up some
things which you have taken out of context. If you had read my original
post, there would have not have been a need for your reply.

While it is something that I am sure the Australian Wireless Association
may modify and use, as stated in my initial post, I am putting this
together as a template all groups can use.

While I agree that un-related cross posting is not a good thing, my
initial post was not region specific, nor group specific. I am trying to
get a broad oppinion as to allow me to product the best document I can.

While this statement has no direct relation to the intention of my
original post, I will say that you are incorrect in your assumption of
the $100 pa membership fee for the Australian Wireless Association.

The yearly membership is $35 pa, with an initial start up fee of $65,
equating to $100 in the first year.

The $35 fee goes into Administration costs to run the association, and
towards insurance. The $65 goes into a fund to help build network
segments.

I hope this clears up the issue.

Regards

Jamie
