Until such time as it is established who is still a member how are you 
going to hold a meeting? Are you seriously proposing, in writing, 
published on a mailing list disposing of money belonging to an association 
of which none of those present are members. Whose money do you have in 
mind seizing next?

I would propose that you and others await discovery of the position of the 
AFFS by one that you and others await discovery of the position of the 
AFFS by one who is at least still paid up before you engage in any more 
wild proposals.
