        Tho from what I have read of 2005-1 this requires a AS .  That
        requires a memebership unless there is some loophole around
        that I have not seen ?

        Can you site the section in 2005-1 that allows an entity to
        pay the onetime fee & not have to pay the yearly fee ?
