Membership Recruitment and incentive: Looking for ideas on how to gain new members and an incentive to gain funding. If we attract X members 10% of Y is the consensus. If a WG member attracts X member at Y revenue, WG member's group will we get Z new member? Is an incentive; to get money into a group project budget, a press releaseget % of Y revenue of X member. What happens if more than one person involved in the recruitment? (Answer: Open question still). What happens if WG member recruiting is a member of more than one WG (Answer: they get to choose which WG gets the % of revenue). The work group should decide where they spend the funds and supply the LC with a supporting project plan (this will follow very closely from the 'Group Reports').
Alternative % of Y incentive option: Split funds between recruiter and the work group when member joins the KI organization.
There are alternatives to % of Y as an incentive; e.g. WG gets priority on KI project funds, WG gets a press release about their work, first choice feature/plug in an event or Summit, waiving meeting fees (noting new members joining Kantara in first 6 months of 2011 would receive the 2010 rates = 10% discount). 10% is the Y, focus Focus on organization members only to make it worthwhile. Split funds between recruiter and the work group when member joins the organization. The work group should decide where they spend the funds with a project plan (this will follow very closely from the 'Group Reports')
We discussed the possibility that incentives could include the flexibility for the awardee to choose from a menu of options (e.g., cash for the group, cash for the individual, press release, funding priority), rather than the LC having to define a specific benefit.
Fall member meeting: Are members open to meeting on a weekend day? e.g. Sunday. Table for next meeting.
