disagree  Eynati: Quite wrong, I am afraid. It's nothing whatsoever to do with being respected or with status, but having fulfilled all the membership obligations. standing=emda is a false friend. cf. http://www.courts.state.ny.us/courts/ad1/certificates.shtml

Another possibility, suggested by a colleague (thanks, Sue) is
min ha-minyan
מן המנין
It's not 100% the same thing, but does put across the idea of being a 'regular' member, not in breach of any provision.

agree  Suzan Chin: Exactly! "In good standing" does not mean "מכובד". It means that a member has fulfilled his/her obligations.
