I would have to say that if all the registrars have a common or overlapping 
ownership and get only 1 vote (which I think is how it should be) then they 
should be liable for only one dues payment.

I was concerned in DC to hear discussion of bringing on staff because that 
is usually a prelude to big increases in expense.  Although the dues is 
"only" $750.00 this can be a burden to some small companies.  I realize 
that there is quite a lot of work and I know we all greatly appreciate that 
work, but I wonder if we could find a way to lower the dues? There really 
is no good solution.
