For that matter, it could be posted right here.  It's not that big.
The problem, though, is deciding who to send the paper copy to.  I
suppose folks who didn't want the paper copy could send e-mail to
usenix.org, but would that make too much work for someone?

Then there's the question of whether we want to provide ;login: free
to non-members.  Personally, I wouldn't mind.  It would provide some
good PR for the organization, and membership would still have its
privileges (Computing Systems, member discounts, etc.)
