** CHI 06 conference attendees from May 06 were added incorrectly as Affiliate members, when they should have been made Professional members. This was reflected in the June 06 figures. The correction was made in FY 07 and therefore the December 06 membership figures were added to this report to more accurately show the SIGCHI membership base.
