Papaya seeds

I have obtained some fresh payaya seeds (Carica papaya), some of which I intend to plant, and some of which I would like to store for later use.  The seeds have a thin membrane around them, which can be removed by rubbing.  Should this be done before planting, or will they germinate if the membrane is left intact?
 
For drying and storage, should the membrane be first removed?
