How interesting. I'm going to have to write the AMA and find out what the purpose of that is. If I can discover who is responsible for it, I'll also ask about whether this was an intended use.
Perhaps some accountability needs to be addressed. I'm not so sure that I've given the AMA permission to release my first name.
The purpose is for AMA club secretary to determine in an individual is in fact a paid up member. You get all kinds of people claiming that they are members when they are not. It takes no talent whatsoever to phony up an AMA card changing the date of expiration or to make one up totally from scratch.
