Every day decisions are being made that will affect your life online -
decisions about what sorts of technology you can use to protect the 
privacy of your communications; decisions about what services you will 
be able to get over the emerging global information infrastructure;
*decisions that are made before you even know that there are choices.*

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has been working since July 1990 to
ensure that the civil liberties guaranteed in the Constitution and the 
Bill of Rights are applied to new communications technologies.  Our 
members join EFF to make sure that they are informed about the issues 
and debates that will shape the future of electronic communications.  
EFF members enjoy the following benefits:

*  subscription to our frequent electronic newsletter and action 
   bulletin, _EFFector_Online_;

*  online bulletins that will keep you informed about the key legal,
   legislative and social developments affecting your online 
   communications;

*  an online response mechanism to make yourself heard on key issues;

*  EFF's legal hotline, which, in the event that your civil liberties are
   violated, can help you find legal information and assistance.

EFF is a respected voice for the rights of users of online technologies. 
We feel that the best way to protect your online liberties is to be fully
informed and to make your opinions heard.  EFF members are informed, and
are making a difference.  Join EFF today!

------ end of form --------- cut here ---------------

Please tell us where you found this form, so we see how far it goes. 
SysOp/Recruiter members should place their name, system/service name,
and member number in the "I got this form from" line when distributing 
the form via their systems, publications, etc. This is how the 
fulfillment of the recruitment requirements is tracked.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is a U.S. nonprofit, 501(c)(3) 
organization supported by contributions from individual members,
corporations and private foundations. Memberships and donations are 
tax-deductible. Merchandise (e.g. t-shirt) orders are not tax-deductible. 
EFF's tax exemption number is 04-3091431.

EFF is a nonpartisan equal opportunity membership organization. Membership 
will never be denied to anyone because of race, color, religion, national
origin, political affiliation, etc. (In fact, EFF has never denied membership
to anyone for any reason.)

* PRIVACY POLICY:
  EFF occasionally shares our mailing list with other 
  organizations promoting similar goals. However, we respect an 
  individual's right to privacy and will not distribute your 
  info without your explicit permission.  Under no circum-
  stances will your information be sold, rented or given to 
  advertising companies, nor revealed to government agencies.

NOTES about local activism and volunteers: EFF will begin compiling a 
(private) list of people interested in local "Electronic Frontier" 
organizing and activism, to better help local groups get started.  
Initially we'll just collect names and email addresses, and later put 
people in the same area in touch with eachother when there are enough 
people to get the ball rolling.  EFF also from time to time seeks 
volunteers and interns, on both a local in-person basis, and a virtual
over-the-Net basis.  If you are an attorney interested in doing local pro
bono legal work in support of civil liberties online, please contact
EFF staff counsel Shari Steele (ssteele@eff.org), who maintains a (private) 
list of attorneys to refer people to.

NOTES about credit cards:  EFF does NOT recommend sending credit card
info via email, unless it is encrypted.  See our PGP encryption key, below.
When submitting credit card info via email, please PGP-sign your membership
form in lieu of a regular signature.  RIPEM, RSA, or other cryptographic 
signatures are also acceptable, but PGP is preferred.  If you do not 
have access to PGP, aren't inclined to encrypt your form, etc., please 
fax your membership form or send it via postal mail.

NOTES regarding Student membership: This works on the honor system -
we do not request copies of school paperwork or the like.  This membership
price range is also open to those under the poverty line.

NOTES about EFF t-shirts: Available for $10 to members ($15 to non-members). 
members who renew at a higher rate than last year, above Supporter 
membership (e.g. "upgrade" from Supporter to Advocate, or from Student 
to Pioneer) receive a free shirt if requested!  T-shirts and other 
merchandise are not tax-deductible, though memberships and additional 
donations are (in the US; international members will need to check local 
tax law.)

NOTES regarding SysOp/Recruiter membership: System Operator & 
Recruiter members are required to bring in 10 or more new members to 
renew at the "SysOp/Recruiter" membership rate (otherwise "Supporter" 
rates apply). Send queries to membership@eff.org for more info.  NOTE: 
CIS, AOL, etc. forum sysops and co-sysops ARE eligible for SysOp 
membership, as are system administrators at Internet access providers, 
and the moderators of echomail conferences, mailing lists, and Usenet 
newsgroups. Print publishers, librarians, and any others who wish to 
recruit are also eligible for this membership category.
* IMPORTANT: SysOp/Recruiter members should include the mini-form below
with their membership applications.

Recruitment is usually fulfilled by distributing EFF membership forms
via the SysOp/Recruiter member's system (or forum, or publication, or 
place of business, as applicable.)

NOTES about Non-profit/School/Library memberships: Open to any non-profit 
organization, educational institution, or public or privately-funded library.
This category confers membership upon the member organization, not on 
multiple individuals within the organization.  NGOs in areas that do not
grant official non-profit status, or in places where such status is refused
for political reasons, may still use this membership category if they don't
have official recognition. Non-profit membership does not imply affiliation
or a chapter relationship.

NOTES about Corporate memberships: This category confers membership upon the
member organization, not on multiple individuals within the organization.
EFF also welcomes equipment donations, grants, event and program
sponsorship, and other industry support, aside from membership.  Without
this support, EFF would not exist!

Frequently asked question:  "How come I don't get monthly full-color 
glossy newsletters, and mouse-pads and posters and widgets when I join?"
EFF devotes our funding to our work (and overhead, of course).  We do
not feel it is right to spend your donations on gimmicks.  From time to
time, we do produce pins, bumperstickers and such as part of our educational
mission, and if and when a company donates some useful product or service
for EFF members (e.g. t-shirts, discount coupons, etc.), we will be happy to 
include such things as part of the membership benefits, provided they 
are appropriate, and do not add appreciably to overhead.  At EFF your 
money goes to WORK, not to waste.

Frequently asked question: "How come, as an EFF member, I don't vote on
what EFF is doing, who the board members are, etc.?"  EFF was incorporated
as a different sort of non-profit. The organization is not a "populist"
group such as a trade association that represents interests voted on by 
members.  We have a set and certain mission, and EFF members are those 
who support our mission and want to see it succeed. Your membership dues 
are actually a donation in support of the organization's goals, not a 
payment for representation of changing agendas.  EFF cares very much what 
our members think and feel, and we always welcome your feedback, positive 
or negative.  EFF also supports the creation of independent local 
"Electronic Frontier" organizations, in lieu of rigidly-controlled 
chapters.  If you are interested in starting such an organization, please 
contact EFF online activist Stanton McCandlish (mech@eff.org).

EFF PGP PUBLIC KEY FOR ENCRYPTION

This is the ASCII-armored PGP 2.62us public key for the Electronic 
Frontier Foundation (EFF).  It is compatible with PGP vers. 2.2 - 2.7.
PGP is an ecryption (data security encoding) program, available for
DOS, OS/2, Unix, Macintosh and several other platforms. PGP is the
de facto Internet standard for encryption, and is available from many
BBSs, FTP sites, and other online services.  (If you have trouble 
locating PGP, see ftp.eff.org, /pub/Net_info/Tools/Crypto/README.Dist).

Note that mail sent with this key will be considered addressed to 
EFF in general, not to a specific person, unless otherwise noted in 
plaintext. To send encrypted personal mail to someone at EFF, for 
whatever reason, please use that person's own key, or arrange some 
other method of communication.

This key is provided principally for the sending of sensitive legal
information, and the transmission of credit card numbers over the 
Net securely when becoming a member of EFF.  It takes us time and 
effort to decrypt, so please don't use this key trivially.  If
sending something other than a membership form, please begin your 
"Subject:" line with "URGENT -" (unless it's non-urgent of course).
Thank you. Please expect a delay, as the message will have to be
transferred to another system for decryption (we do not keep PGP 
or our secret keys on our Internet systems for security reasons.)


To add this key to your PGP key ring, save the key as a text file
called pgpkey.eff, then use the following DOS or Unix commandline
(several other platforms may also use this commandline), 
in your PGP directory:

pgp -ka pgpkey.eff pubring.pgp

If your public key ring has another name, use that instead of 
"pubring.pgp".  You may need to specify a full path to PGP, or 
otherwise modify the above command. If you have trouble, please 
refer to the PGP documentation and/or ask your local system 
administrators for help.

For MacPGP, pick "Add Key" from the "Key" menu, select 
pgpkey.eff as the file to get the key from, and pubring.pgp (or 
whatever your public keyring is named) as the file to add the 
key to.

To encrypt a message, please see the PGP documentation, and 
remember that you will almost certainly need to generate the 
result as an ASCII-armored file, so you can email it 
(non-ASCII-armored PGP ciphertexts are binary, and will get 
mangled if you try to email them.)

*** NOTE!  PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS *INSIDE* THE 
    ENCRYPTED MESSAGE any time you send us crypto-mail. Please 
    also include it in plain text just before the beginning of
    the encrypted text. Otherwise, we may not be able to reply,
    if the original email headers are lost and/or we encounter 
    difficulties decrypting your message.

The key itself:

Type Bits/KeyID    Date       User ID
pub  1024/99592FED 1994/11/21 Electronic Frontier Foundation 
                              Discard older key - it's revoked
