That means that 90% of the riders pay for the AERC. That means that 90%

You could go to the DB and get the exact number. I didn't say the FEI
riders don't contributed to ride manager or the AERC. The 90% pay 90%
of the dues and I suspect 90% of the entry fees (especially since it's
a little over 90% non international members). No one is encouraging
fragmentation in the AERC - just a recognition of the facts as the
are. The facts are the facts - good bad or indifferent they are the
facts.
I'm one of the biggest supporters of those who have international
aspirations being able to pursue those aspirations. However,
international is just one segment of endurance and in reality a small
segment at that.
You got my curiosity up - maybe I'll go do a pull.
