There is a membership fee to belong to the WGA. This fee is intended
to be used only for reimbursement for long distance calling charges
which are required to obtain and distribute the traffic which flows
in the network.

Fees are reducible quarterly, within each calendar year.

Currently, and until further notice, no fees are being collected for 
membership in WGA-NA. If you are in North America, no fees should be 
submitted with this application.

Outside North America, GSDS files may be obtained monthly
on diskette(s), if desired.
