Look at a U.S. Membership Application, It defines subscribing and
non-subscribing. It is a lot easier to read than Copora

According to Copora, only Sustaining and International Memberships are 
considered subscribing memberships.  The interesting thing is that 
Copora does not differentiate between the different types of membership 
when defining population limits, but Kingdom Law does.  I don't know if 
this is just an oversight and left in from when Copora did 
differentiate, or if it is a deliberate variation.

B. Non-Statutory Members
The Board of Directors has designated the following categories of 
advisory membership. Such advisory
members are not members within the meaning of Section 5056 of the 
California Corporations Code.
California law supports the SCA's use of the terms "member" and 
"membership" in the common English
meaning, referring to persons who have paid to be associated with the 
organization.

1. Sustaining Membership conveys eligibility to hold office in the SCA, 
a subscription to a
Kingdom newsletter, the option to subscribe to other Corporate 
publications, and any other privileges
designated by the SCA or its subdivisions as accruing to members of the 
SCA. *This type of membership is
considered a subscribing membership.*

2. International Membership conveys the privileges of Section I.B.1. 
This membership type is
available only in locations outside the United States which are part of 
the SCA, Inc., and not subject to an
affiliate corporation. *This type of membership is considered a 
subscribing membership.*

3. Associate Membership conveys eligibility to hold office in the SCA, 
except where other
membership categories are required Governing Documents. Associate 
membership also entitles the holder to
any privileges designated by the SCA or its subdivisions as accruing to 
members of the SCA, except where
another membership type is specifically required by the organization 
defining the privilege. *This type of
membership is not considered a subscribing membership.*

4. Family Membership extends the privileges of Section I.B.1 to the 
immediate family of a
member defined in paragraphs B.1-B.2 of this Article, who live at the 
same physical address as the member.
*This type of membership is not considered a subscribing membership.*
