IMHO Monthly PAD is preferred - less overhead to worry about, tracking

Even with banking fees, anyone we can get on PAD is ideal for
administrative reasons, but some people are always going to turn it down
as an option and pay irregularly.
So how best to deal with them.
Getting people who aren't on PAD to pay in bigger chucks should reduce
the admin overhead in dealing with them. It's not fair to Skullspace to
have so much admin overhead, which technology can help with, but can't
eliminate.
But a 1/6 discount (10 out of 12 months example) [16%!] is going too
steep, enough that it does feel like a kick in the teeth to everybody else.
Should be big enough to incentive some people who are already paying
irregularly every month to step up and do this (bi-monthly, quarterly,
annual), but not so big that we got people dropping their monthly PADs
or big enough that people who pay irregular feel it out-paces the admin
burden they create. Sweet spot might be closer to where those PAD bank
fees are at, like 2%... not 16%.
And however done, shouldn't strike me as bylaw territory, should be in
the board's purview.
(Bylaw fix needed if the board doesn't have some discretion on this...
not formally moving something...)
