US$75 to be a voting ISOC member (below).
I live in an area in Northern Virginia, USA,
where the median family income is about US$50,000
and the median home price in my area is US$450,000.
Other areas in our world do not enjoy this level
of income.
US$75 to be a voting ISOC member is, in my opinion,
a step in the wrong direction. Very wrong.
