Blankstein.SIGGRAPH@Xerox.com will reach the person at ACM Headquarters
who can forward your inquiry to the appropriate ACM staff person.  It
takes a long time (too long) to process ACM memberships.  But yours may
have been lost.

Send e-mail to the above with sufficient details to allow things to be
traced.

Membership processing at ACM is improving.  A new on-line system was
installed this year that does seem to provide much better service.  More
improvements are anticipated.

Almost everyone in SIGGRAPH is reachable via e-mail through courtesy
accounts (mail forwards) at Xerox PARC.  A periodic posting to this
news group describes the various userids.  Questions can always be
addressed to Postmaster.SIGGRAPH@Xerox.com regarding the SIGGRAPH
userids.
