I ask that ALL the BOD members read the following post and subsequent replies prior to a policy discussion:
Anyone up for a Shop Crawl this summer? - Page 3

My recollection is that we never required Corporate Membership as a prerequisite for attending a Shop Crawl, but we did require DQ membership level (that is defined in Steve's 2007 thread here). That means a user that has met the requirements to obtain DQ status needs to have been a 60-day minimum member has supplied his Name and who has posted in the Who We Are forum and has met minimum visitation and posting requirements. The reasons are to protect shop owners from a newbie just casing the property for a follow-up.
