Re: [RPRWG] Re: Ballot
Tony, I realize there is an alternate path. However, Angela indicated that
the fee was about the same as joining the IEEE and the IEEE-SA. And that
fee only entitles you to join a single ballot pool. Unless you have a
philosophical reason for not wanting to, joining the IEEE is the easiest
route.
