It has been FIG's Policy since October, 1984 and STILL IS!!!

Author recognition of Forth articles outside of Forth Dimensions  has been an
important policy in FIG's goal of promoting Forth. It  is still FIG's Policy. 
Not too many people have taken advantage  of this policy and I think Dennis
has just forgotten.  It was  reannounced in FD, Vol 8, #5, page 28.

For those of you that do not have that issue or were unfamiliar  with the
policy, let me reintroduce this policy:

          Author Recoginition Program

To recognize and reward authors for Forth-related articles, the  Forth
Interest Group adopted the following Author Recognition  Program, effective
October 1, 1984.

Articles:
  The author of any Forth-related article published in a  periodical or in the
proceedings of a non-Forth conference is  awarded one year's membership in the
Forth Interest Group,  subject to these conditions:
  a.  The membership awarded is for the membership year following  the one
during which the article was published.
  b.  Only one membership per person is awarded in any year,  regardless of
the number of articles the person published in that  year.
  c.  The articles length must be one page or more in the  magazine in which
it was published.
  d.  The author must submit the printed article (photocopies are  accepted)
to the Forth Interest Group, including identification  of the magazine and
issue in which it appeared, within sixty days  of publication.  In return, the
author will be sent a coupon good  for the following year's membership.
  e.  If the original article was published in a language other  than English,
the article must be accomplished by an English  translation.
  f.  Articles are eligible under this program only if they were  first
published after October 1, 1984.

Letters to the Editor:

   Letters to the editor are, in effect, "mini-articles," and so  deserve
recognition.  The author of any Forth-related letter to  an editor published
in any magazine except Forth Dimensions, is  awarded a $10 credit toward FIG
membership fees, subject to these  conditions:
  a.  The credit applies only to membership fees for the  membership year
following the one in which the letter was  published.
  b.  The maximum award in any year to any person will not exceed  the full
cost of the membership fee for the following year.
  c.  The author must submit to the Forth Interest Group a  photocopy of the
printed letter, including identification of the  magazine and issue in which
it appeared, within sixty days of  publication.  The author will be sent a
coupon worth $10 toward  the following year's membership.
  d.  If the original letter was published in a language other  than English,
the article must be accomplished by an English  translation.
  e.  Letters are eliginle under this program only if they were  first
published after October 1, 1984.
