[game_edu] IGDA Board votes still needed pls

[Dan Rosenthal]

That may not be the case; as far as some schools go, in cases where  
the student government association (or in my case, student bar  
association) is being asked to reimburse the cost of a membership in  
the relevant trade association, the governing body may not approve the  
reimubursment if a student account is available but the person selects  
a full account.

For instance, my student bar association's senate is authorized by the  
school to reimburse students for memberships into things like IGDA  
(for a student looking to go into gaming law), various ABA  
subdivisions (for students wanting to join the ABA's two MMORPG  
committees, etc.) However, we are only authorized to do that in two  
situations: when a student account is available AND the student  
chooses that account; OR when no student account is available AND the  
student chooses the next least expensive account. Exceptions in order  
to get voting rights would not be approved
