Dear Fellows NCDNHC,
I have no reason to disbelieve the correctness of Mr. Kent Crispin position 
below.
I therefore ask for the acknowledgement of he FRAX as a voting Member of 
the NCDNHC represented by its Chair (myself). Any other attitude would  be 
discriminatory as the Frax is curently denied a voting Membership at the 
NCDNHC on the grounds that I am the representative of my small technical 
venture firm (UTEL), which is a member of the BC in exactly the same terms 
as Songbird and Mr. Kent Crispin.
Best reards. Jefsey Morfin
