<p>Doesn't it say non-practicing members can participate? They just
have to be members of the section (which I assume is possible).<br>

10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">The new
policy means I and other retired
attorneys will no longer be part of this
listserv. I occasionally post on
historical evolution of real property
procedure or law, as a contribution to
the education of those who come after me,
and payback for those who helped me
as a newbie thirty-some years ago. If
institutional memory is valuable, then
this listserv needs an emeritus status to
include folks like me. If us old
folks are not of value, then cut us out. And
before you say “just join
the section,” remember that retaining bar
membership after retiring means
continuing to pay bar dues and CLE costs.
Once you do that, you get tempted to
do some little piece of practice, and then
you should be insured as well, and
that means needing more income, and suddenly
you are not retired anymore.
Allowing non-practicing members of the bar
to join still means you are going to
eliminate some of your oldest and most
experienced current members, because
they retired.. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

both listservs will only be accessible
by
WSBA RPPT members. The RPPT Executive
Committee decided after much
deliberation
and input that the listservs should be
an exclusive member benefit.
Starting February 1st, 2019, you will
need to login into the <a

target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">www.wsbarppt.com</a> website

order to register for the listserv,

has approved the adoption of new
guidelines, rules, and general etiquette
for the listserv. These will be
posted on <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.wsbarppt,com">www.wsbarppt,com</a> under the

1st, 2019, all listserv postings will
contain a disclaimer in the footer
reminding all that while the listservs
will
be restricted to RPPT section members,
not all section members are practicing
attorneys. Section membership is open
to law students, non-practicing
members of the bar, and even some
non-attorney professionals in related
fields
such as title officers, real estate
agents, and escrow agents. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
