Thanks to everone for their input to the SFSFW question.

First I want to emphasis to everyone that this is just an idea at the
moment 
and I have to iron out a lot of details.

If you haven't checked out the website yet, go to:

http://steve.pugh.net/SFSFW/default.html
 <A HREF="http://steve.pugh.net/SFSFW/default.html">The Society of
Fantasy & 
Science Fiction Warg...</A>

 
My concept right now is I would buy memberships from the U.K. and
reissue 
them here. Along with this membership should come at least the
subscribtion 
to Ragnarok. If this is sent from England or copies reproduced here in
the 
U.S. needs to be determined. Anyone who wishes to submit articles can
send 
them to me and I'll get them to the U.K. or the can be sent direct. 
Eventually I'd like to see a U.S. edition, ideally including the U.K. 
articles. We should also have access to any models produced for the
society. 
Hopefully I'll be able to import these to my shop in Fairfax VA.
Hopefully 
there will be no import or copyright issues involved.

I'd like to avoid the whole club officer thing if possible. The
politicing 
and infighting I've seen in one particular U.S. national club leads me
to 
believe there's really nothing to gain from it. 

As far as standards, there really doesn't seem to be any. The goal of
the 
organization is to promote Fantasy and Sci-Fi, especially alternatives
(but 
not excluding Games Workshop). The efforts of man of the members on this
list 
are actually some of the best standards and goals I can conceive of
(example: 
Mark Kotche and the GZGCon). Prehaps the purpose of a U.S. chapter is
just to 
formalize the efforts and gain some benifits from it as do U.K. members.
