auDA Membership

[chris]

I've created a quick poll to gauge a very rough idea of who are members.

We've also recently fixed an issue with the template where your profile displays if you're an auDA member or not. You can set this by clicking on your profile icon (to the left of Inbox), and scrolling down to auDA Member and Display auDA Membership:

Your membership status will then be visible in your profile under your avatar and post count.

I think it should also give you the ability to display publicly if you are not a member. I had to add this myself a while back. I did however do the unthinkable and applied to join a week ago (not accepted yet) - only to help get some Dntrade representation on the board.

What we need is people voting but most importantly 2 candidates who do represent dntrade members. We don't actually have the basics right now: 2 candidates. If the votes end up spread out between a whole lot of candidates or we don't have two people then joining AUDA probably isn't going to have much effect.

So what is the process? Pay and then wait for approval? If approved something in the mail? Email confirmation? Time frame? .......thanks

I did receive a "receipt" pretty much straight away, and then I received this from a lady named Lisa Lunardi the following day.

pretty much straight away

which is automated so nobody has looked at it yet.

I will contact you again after the auDA Board meeting to let you know the outcome of your membership application.

as you are weeks away from the closing date i wonder if you made a small error like postcode or typo of suburb would your application be presented or held back till after the meeting and THEN sent back for clarification THUS you miss out on voting??? when a quick phone call could have resolved it
does anyone know?

Tim the post above yours shows that I received what would be considered a standard response, I don't think there are any issues, just a time frame that all new applications have to wait for, cheers

 

[findtim]

my question or though off-topic sorry still remains interesting to me

he auDA Board may request further information from you before approving your application for membership.

this seems to answer my question, i missed it before.

your email: yes, its more "thankyou for your money" , hardly a WELCOME letter, yes i know its not been approved, so lets wait to see what he next correspondence brings you .

tim

 

[Data Glasses]

Well I guess the question is has everyone else who has just joined received the same?

Is it too late now to register and get a vote at the upcoming meeting?
