If I ever was membership secretary I never took membership
subscriptions. IIRC that was an automated process and I certainly didn't
see any money. I was a committee member in the early days mainly to help
give advice on education and make up the numbers to get things started
but 2003 is a long time ago and the last e-mail I have related to any
physical meeting is dated May 2004.  AFAIK I'm not a member anymore and
I can't remember any of the details years back. If you are the only
member, only you can have any official capacity. If you get together
enough people to do whatever it takes to satisfy the constitution, you
can then get a mandate to do whatever you think needs doing and do it.
Once you get a mandate you can change the constitution and start afresh.
I doubt an inquisition will be helpful in that process since instead of
cooperation you are going to breed antagonism.
