The math works out in funding. The membership line item is not a huge revenue item for the organization after year 2. Still, it does need to be big enough to provide buy-in, as you said.
I'm sort of split on this. There certainly needs to be a discount, and folks who are members and attend all three meetings are certainly committed to the organization. I don't think we'll see 1000 members, though. My guess: 200 at steady state. No science behind that, just a WAG. - Dan On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 12:54 PM, Bill Norton <bill.nor...@gmail.com> wrote: > Steve - > > I like it - simple. > > Just to make sure I understand the thoughts behind the pricing model... > With the membership fee at $100/year, if one attends all three NANOGs in a > year, and gets a $25 per meeting discount, then the cost to be a member ends > up costing about $25/year.
