What cave diving association do you belong to?

I received some PMs with corrections. If you can not vote with the ballot at the top of the thread PM me and I will count that. Again I am truly sorry I did not put a GUE option.

More importantly, how do you want to handle the voting on here and on TDS? I did not vote there because I did vote here. Do you want folks to vote on every forum?

Is GUE specifically a "cave diving association" or a scuba diving organization like PADI , NAUI, SDI/TDI , PSAI etc. ?

I am trying to determine membership penetration so if you are a member of both forums then you would vote on both forums.

If you are on a mobile platform that is not compatible with the ballot please use your desktop, laptop or or other compatible platform. Finally the poll is about voluntary paid membership, not the certifying agency you are certified through. For example you could be certified through the NACD(have a NACD cave card) but not a member of the NACD. You could be a member of NACD but certified through someone else. If you dont pay annual dues, or are not a Lifetime sustaining member then you are not a member.

huh? if you don't pay dues or are not a Lifetime sustaining member then you are not a member? Sustaining members pay every so often. Lifetime members pay a bigger amount once. So you are saying you are not a member if you are lifetime but not sustaining?

I'd say you are a member if you can show a member card (not past the expiry date).

Skip,

I am sorry you are confused by the poll, and the definition of sustaining member. Aren't you an instructor?
