It would be nice with a better Web-page hopefully also with a possibility to pay the subscription/member fee on online. With this it would be easier to advertise their existence on our own web-sites to get more subscribers. As it is now it take an hour just to pay the fee, at least so much work that I next time most probably just put the money in an envelope and hope for the best. Easier paying method would also make it easier to order back issues. Another thought I got was: What if we all (members and nonmembers) goes to our local library and ask for the journal, wouldn't that have potential to higher the subscription numbers. Libraries subscribe to all sort of paper/magasine so why not the icga-journal. Odd Gunnar
