When you count, what you consider to be the number of Project members for your state - do you, in your state count only the voting members or do you also include the transcribers and/or other special task persons? If you include the later what percent of your total members would be a fair number to use? The reason for this question is because of a request I've received asking how many members, ball park figure we have. According to the EC we have approximately 2400 voting members as of the last election. Therefore would a figure of between 2500 and 3000 be about right for the total membership as you see it?

I'm not sure I know of one good reason to count. I think of all the regular members of the RIGenWeb mailing list (not a coordinators' list) as "members" as well as everyone who has contributed in any way. I don't count or keep lists. Just my grouchy opinion.
