Please, be so kind to explain what the idea of 'individual members' has 
to do with the requirement of paying $75 to have a voting right?

Individual members  form a large percentage of ISOC members and it is 
clear to me that they should be represented in BoT.
But it is not clear to me why only those individual members who can 
afford $75 can vote in the name of all individual members.
Why this member who can pay $75 should have more rights than that which 
cannot do it (or does not want to do it)?
