I have only been a member for a couple of months.  At the bottom of the "Some
Information..." section there are several editorial and production assistants
listed.  The University of Maastricht provides some (all?) support.  In
particular, Johanna Hellemons has consistenty responded in a timely and
professional way to several emails.  I also had no qualms about sending a check.
 Of course, these are not the larger issues.
