<DIV><FONT size=4>Due to the elimination of the Western Region there has been a
'discussion' on the general Ansteorra list.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>So far the following information has been put forth (right,
wrong or indifferent):</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>1. Apparently only Anesteorra (according to the
discussion as I understand it) does not recognize memberships other than
Sustaining for the requirements for a Barony. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>2. But an Associate member can hold office but is not
considered a subscribing membership. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>3. Family membership is not considered a subscribing
membership.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>4. <A

Starting with page 54 of 64 states the different memberships.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>5. <A

Page 32 deals with Barony requirements</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>So if I understand this incorrectly someone please correct
me. Only a Sustaining Member counts towards our required 25 members to
maintain the Barony. They can also hold offices. An Associate
member(ship) can hold office but doesn't count towards the 25 because it isn't a
'subscribing' membership. Same with Family memberships because they are
not subscribing memberships.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I'm so confused.</FONT></DIV>
