Man, I know I am behind in emails, but had no idea the discussion about dues
ever came from a discussion of resources on our website. From what I saw,
the mention of classes only came from a justification for raising dues. We
all know how much we get out of our classes and they are "worth" far more
than what we actually pay for them.

You can rest assure that there will be no selling of recordings from a
general class. Something special would have to be set up in order to have
recordings that would be worth selling, I know I wouldn't want to pay for a
recording to have to listen to class participants. If there were recordings
that were made in a teacher/student format it would have to be with a
pretend student to make it into a comprehensive recording worth selling.

To my knowledge, no one is making recordings to sell. What teachers do
outside of our division or class setting has nothing to do with us.

I really hope this discussion of recordings is dropped. The members of this
division voted some time ago not to have recordings. Teachers conduct their
classes as they see appropriate. If you take class materials that are not
your intellectual property and make money without legal written permission
of the person that created it, you can be sued for damages by the person
that created the material. 

Happily done to 2736 unread messages on this list (don't ask, it was a
gmail filtering snafu).
