That does sound like a reasonable idea.

That could present problems, what if the other person moves away during that
person's tenure in office (say a roommate leaves, or a divorce ensues).  How
quickly could someone subscribe to the Kingdom newsletter after getting
their membership?  And I know I'm going off on a tangent here but what kinds
of bureaucratic changes would be necessary to make the newsletter and
membership two separate offices?  How difficult would that be and for how
long?

I am also interested in learning if we could go to an electronic copy of the
Kingdom newsletter.  I don't know what problems there would be with such a
thing, but it seems that it would help with the postage and printing issues
we are having now.  If those of us who have more knowledge about such
matters would help the discussion of an "e-newsletter" to help those of us
who are not as "literate" I think a few of us would be very grateful.
