Rich (richlife) doesn't have DQ status yet. He's close, but not quite there. This is somewhat of a funny situation, since he's hosting on the upcoming shop crawl but he can't sign up as a crawler.
The DQ process is to ensure that only active members that contribute to NCWW receive the discount at Klingspor etc. I would argue that being a crawl host qualifies someone. He also pony expressed some cherry lumber recently for Gonzalo and me.
I realize this could open a can of worms, but I figured I'd see what the BoD thoughts are on this. I've offered to make Rich my guest, which solves the problem, but this kind of situation may occur in the future.
