RE: [ga] Re: Membership criteria - compromise

[Joanna Lane <jo-uk@rcn.com>]

Elizabeth,
That would be 26% of all those registered to vote? Could we first exclude
all those bouncing ballots from "members" who have moved on, changed email
address, but not actually bothered to unsubscribe? That would make quite a
difference wouldn't it?

I think that Members should be asked to reconfirm their membership annually,
which would protect the integrity of the electoral register.

Regards,
Joanna
