Subject: Alcor Policy on Foreign Membership

UNANIMOUS RESOLUTION OF THE ALCOR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, 5 November 2000:   No
further foreign memberships will be accepted with non-standard funding until
mechanisms can be found that satisfy Alcor s current funding requirements,
which have been developed to ensure Alcor s financial safety. 

In order to become an Alcor member, a foreign person will have to comply with
the same rules as an American member. This means that they must either have an
American insurance policy, prepay in U.S. dollars, or use one of these funding
mechanisms to fund a trust written under American law, the assets of which
must
be deposited into an American institution. They will be required to complete
the current paperwork, as well as sign a special disclaimer (currently being
developed) that establishes an understanding of, but not limited to, the
following: 

(1) Alcor will be substantially limited it its ability to deliver equal
service
levels outside the US, 

(2) The best chance of a good biostasis means getting to Scottsdale before
they
arrest, 

(3) Due to varying laws, such as those relating to contracts, anatomical
donations, etc., our forms may not be accepted in their countries.
