Educational and Corporate memberships to the USENIX Association have
only one designated contact person, and this person is the only one
who receives the discount at conferences and symposiums.

The note about the member rate in the conference brochure refers to
either the individual USENIX member, or the individual who represents
the Corporate or Educational membership. 

So if you are not the designated contact person for your employer's 
membership, then you do pay the extra $50.  You can, however, check the
box on the form that will allow this fee to go towards your own individ-
ual membership.

If you have any questions concerning this, please contact us at
office@usenix.org.
