Dear Norbert You can pay now but you pay for 2013 calendar year. the pro-rata apply and it is calculated only when a compagny joins the consortium during the calendar year (for example, if a compagny sign the membership agreement on june 2013) Hope it is clear now for you ?

Great!. And being the first is always something special :) Do you think the fees can be transferred already this year?
We decided to do a pro-rata so that people do not think that we are trying to steal them and also to make sure that everybody can join at any time without thinking too much. So it would mean 1 month so it will be probably for january. Now if you want to pay the full price we can do it :).
I'm not sure I understand. My assumption was that whenever I join the consortium I pay an annual fee and be member for one year. Or do you arrange the membership payment with the calendar year? So to be clear do you state paying for this year will be one month (for december) and it starts all over again in 2013? Or will I be able to pay now for one year (until Nov '13)? For us it would be best to pay a year of membership within 2012.
