[ncdnhc-discuss] Payment

[Nilda Vany Martinez Grajales]

Hi Carlos and all:

Agree with all you are saying here.  

For many people in developing countries are expensive to be able to send
$25.00 in a timely manner.

A banking transfer can cost from $50.00-$75.00 plus the amount to send
which, in this case is $25.00.
A wire transfer also can cost from $25.00.  

Credit Card (Visa, Master Card, American Express...) is more feasible. 
However, still there will be some that are not able to make payment by
credit card because are not international, or because simply they don't
have credit card.

Even to send a money order (here in Panama is cheap, in other countries
this is expensive too), unreliable postal mail system can make that such
money order lost or arrives later than expected.

Also political and economical situations in some countries (as the
actual situation in Argentina) makes unfeasible to send any 
funds to other country, regardless the aumount.

I propose that until we don't have several systems to be able to send a
payment in a timely manner and costless or low cost manner and  until a
solution for the problem of payment is not found, that membership
resolution not be fully implemented.

Implementing the membership resolution right now in the actual
conditions, would be a damage for organizations
in Developing Countries because they will be not able to vote.

Best Regards
Vany
