** - Ethnomethodology is a Section-in-Formation through 9/30/2003. Sections in-formation are given 2 years to recruit at least 300 members and to demonstrate the viability of the section before they become full sections.

By Council action, sections must maintain a minimum membership of at least 300 members. Sections that fall below 300 members at the end of any membership year are subject to review and discontinuation by the Committee on Sections and the Council. Final 2002 membership count determines sections budget allocations for 2003 as well as the number of sessions earned for the 2003 Annual Meeting.
