Caller Selection in Importers

Selection

Callers are chosen by vote of the membership, and they're contracted by the Assignment Secretary about 1-1/2 to 2 years in advance.

Compensation

Callers are contracted for a total fee for the weekend, plus the Importers pay all expenses, which include transportation, housing, and meals. Callers seem to like this arrangement because they know in advance that they'll return with a profit.
