There are three membership types available. These are:

PANUG membership is by calendar year. Your membership ends on the last day of the calendar year. If you've been a member in the past and you wish to renew your membership, you pay $35 regardless of when you renew. You don't save any money by delaying your membership renewal.

People who have never been members before may pay a pro-rated rate of $3.00 per month. If, for example, you join in May, you would pay $21 because there are seven months left in the year.

Corporate membership

A Corporate membership allows any three people within the company to take advantage of PANUG benefits at any one time. For example, up to three people (any three) from the company may attend PANUG members-only events or receive discounts for a PANUG-sponsored, pay-to-attend seminar or educational event. Contact us for pricing for Corporate memberships that go beyond three people.

Payment

You can send your check (made out to PANUG) to:
 PANUG
 PO BOX 780-B
 Lake Oswego, OR 97034

PANUG members may submit announcements for inclusion in the next PANUG email broadcast. Typically, these announcements will be job listings and items for sale.

There are limitations:

• Members may submit two announcements each year at no cost. Additional announcements cost $25 each.
• Items for sale must be computer-related.
• Announcement text must be short. PANUG reserves the right to edit the text.
• There are additional limitations on job postings where the position is for a company other than the member's company. Contact PANUG at info@panug.org if you have questions about this.
• Members may not submit announcements about services they offer unless it is part of a PANUG-related event.

PANUG offers email redirection and spam reduction as a member benefit. Email redirection is where you're assigned a email address in PANUG's domain but any incoming mail to that address is redirected to your own existing mail address. Let's use an example. Betty has a email address where she works. She uses this for both business and personal communications. Her email address is betty@sales.ajaxwidgets.com. Over time, she builds up quite a number of people that she corresponds with. Many of these people have Betty listed in their email address books. Betty decides to leave her company and work somewhere else. She now has to notify everyone she corresponds with of her new address.

PANUG's email redirection can be used to simplify things. Betty can be assigned an address of, say, betty@panug.org. Any mail that is sent to betty@panug.org is redirected to betty@sales.ajaxwidgets.com. If Betty's email address changes, she only has to notify PANUG of the change.

Note: People can still send mail to Betty directly (bypassing PANUG) by using her "real" email address.

Members can have web pages on PANUG's web server. These pages can be used to promote your business, offer information to others, whatever. The PANUG Board reserves the right to disallow content they consider to be detrimental to PANUG.

You web pages are accessed with a URL such as http://smith.panug.org or http://www.smith.panug.org. Web pages are free to PANUG members as long as traffic is not too high.

There are limitations:

• You cannot access your web pages using insecure protocols like FTP. You must use SSH-based file transfer programs like scp. There are Windows versions of these programs. If you cannot do this, you can send your web pages to us via email and we can add them to your directory.
• You cannot use CGI scripts.
• We do not support any of the server-side FrontPage extensions. If you develop your web page content with FrontPage, you would probably not be happy with this service.
