What's in it for me? What would USATF membership do for me as a measurer? If the RRTC website requires too much work or too much typing to free it from errors, that should be the responsibility of USATF. I also don't see how forcing membership onto volunteers helps the volunteer join the "digital age".
The idea that USATF membership dues will be earmarked for the RRTC is a long stretch. Think about earmarking dues paid by road runners being used only in support of road running.
Requiring USATF membership for measurers doesn't seem to have any advantages, except a small increase in USATF income.
This from a 70-yr old who has been a road runner USATF member for about 40-years and still doesn't notice the benefit. I join only to voluntarily support the organization. Make membership mandatory and watch that support be re-evaluated.
