I want to comment on the AIS membership procedure. The AIS website IMHO needs some serious updating to reflect immediate membership once the fees are paid. Payment should give the applicant instant access. A simple user name & password should be all that is necessary. I have been a member on & off for many years since the early 1990's. And it doesn't seem to get any better whether paper or electronic. I am grateful for the AIS, but I feel some changes are needed for the website & especially new memberships. I can understand the above feelings.
