First of all thank you for

in the IMG world now:
1.
ERAS tokens
will be available tomorrow June 30th.
Please log on to the
ECFMG OASIS to obtain your ERAS token. There is a fee of $75 for the token. ECFMG

documents and your ECFMG status report. You need to pay this fee before the token
can be released to you.
