Paul,

Some of the magazines and Institutions found that fees in the western world became astronomic in the developing world. Places such as Asian countries and Russia where income is out of kilter with the relative exchange rates are examples. If foreign companies are operating in those areas perhaps they can sponsor a number of individuals? This leads to two types of membership corporate and individual? Its beginning to sound like an ASME sort of set up?

Another approach may be that individuals sponsor a student? Act as a mentor etc? This would have to work on trust to a large extent.
