For Voluntary (in VSN) ownership, I had asked @kozykritter to check, but theirs is still the older version. It also indicates 2015 in the file name.
Here it is. It's labeled 2015, but includes some subsequent changes.

If you own a Mandatory week, it should be online. It was also posted here in another thread. But for Mandatory weeks, login to your account and go to the "Governing Documents" section from the Dashboard. Then click on ASSOCIATION INFORMATION. Then the VSN RULES & REGULATIONS. It should take you to this link. The file name indicates 2015 but it seems to be the newest 2023 version. For Voluntary (in VSN) ownership, I had asked @kozykritter to check, but theirs is still the older version. It also indicates 2015 in the file name.
I am wondering why it is taking them longer to post the new VSN rules for the voluntary resorts.

Still not sure this is the newest version. The $599 fee seems to go back a while and the fee chart on the last page indicates it was last updated in June 2021.

What serious company would make changes in 2022 and label the document 2015?
It isn't really labeled 2015, just the file name indicates 2015. It is in many cases just easier to replace the file on the server with the new one. Then they don't need to go out and update a bunch of links.

It is the same version R54 voluntary that I saved back in August.
Also, using a search, it contains no references to "Abound". Something that appears 38 times in the VSN Disclosure for Mandatory Members.

Indeed. The mandatory VSN disclosure refers to Abound as an "external" exchange. They had to, in order to be able to deposit into Abound "from time to time". Those who followed my posts should not be surprised. What an odd and weak legal construction what a strange way to deal with the inventory! I guess they are still trying to find solutions for the voluntary resorts, especially Lagunamar.

That makes me believe that the 595 is for opt-BACK-ins after opt-outs and the 599 is going to be a new “junk” fee on top of an additional developer purchase to retro enrolled voluntary resale and post 8/9 mandatory
I'll find out in a few weeks if this is the case or not.
