Hi there - apologies for the delay, but after a lot of back and forth over the last couple of days we've decided to proceed with your membership on a trial basis, if that's ok with you - there are some reservations over having such a large carrier in the Middle East, along with some surrounding your Russian operations, but the conclusion we came to was that the benefits would outweigh any problems. There aren't really any practical differences between full and trial memberships - it's assumed people will work together in the same way regardless - but we will reevalute the membership in two weeks to decide whether to proceed with granting full membership or not, and if that vote fails the process will be terminated.
In any event, I'll add you to the trial members group now and you can poke around and see what you think of everything!
