I apply for BBS Membership in the Association of Shareware Professionals as an 
Approved BBS. I certify that my BBS meets the standards set forth by the ASP.

Enclosed is a check or credit card information for $75 US to cover first year 
dues and to cover the costs of certification.  If a check is used, it must be 
in USA dollars drawn on a USA bank.  I understand that $55 of this fee will be 
returned if my BBS is not certified or my membership application is rejected 
for any other reason. ($20 will be withheld from any refund to cover any ASP 
administrative costs)

I understand that dues are renewed in January of each year, regardless of when 
I apply for membership. First year dues are pro-rated per quarter, based on 
the date the application was approved (see BBSAPP.TXT)

ATTN ASP AUTHOR MEMBERS: If you are a valid ASP "Author" member, and also 
operate your own BBS for the support of your products, you may apply for a 
special membership for your BBS. Your BBS will be considered as an official 
ASP Approved BBS, but the yearly dues are waived for this special catagory. 
(See Section 7.0 of the ASP BBS Standards (BBSSTD.TXT) for details).

[___] I am an ASP Author member, and I am applying for BBS membership under 
 Y/N  the provisions of Section 7.0 of the ASP BBS Standards. This option is 
      *ONLY* available to current ASP Author members.
