Lets try and keep this within HQs. I plan to look for the lowest possible dues for all of us, although we must budget for essentials and pay for them together. Any extraordinary expenditure will be paid for by donation. Under my period of Management here I plan to keep to this statement and ensure our budget is balanced, I will not be happy if the deficit is made to large by the other subsets (or the chair) and will probably resign.

I plan to consult with The Regional Reserve Headquarters and compile and study data on the general amount of money held by AWP members, that of our current members and that of the poorest in our society. At the moment I will pursue a monthly due. Get back to you. |

I have got figures for the 20 most active (post count) accounts with a total balance of WP$ 221730. Which is an impressive sum. On the other hand a third of accounts have no money whatsoever, which is concerning. For this months dues I'm happy if we just collect enough to cover the budget and no more, we can look for the security of surplus when there is more of us. This means I open the budget up to all subsets to propose expenditure this month Here The good news is that the five of us are in the top twenty, so we are all capable of supporting some expenditure (which would be a first for some months). |

O.k so we now have a means of collection and a channel for donations which is good.:D Returning to the dues discussion, I have a problem. As you all know we don't actually have any costs at the moment (although I am enquiring as to the cost of renting a building in Neasville) and I have yet to receive any spending requests from fellow managers or the chair (especially looking to Public Relations to demand extravagant Advertising), since we are so small we could also do with spending on member recruitment (looks at vacant position) to boost numbers, especially while our competition seem totally inactive on all fronts. The latter I would look more cheerfully upon, releasing funds etc, the previous is more of a share between dues and donations. This means that at the moment we have no budget to pay for (and I have already committed to not building reserves this month) . But the point of the system is to enable us to spend, so this is what we must do. You have all seen my shoddy advertising, this is (o.k its not) the reason why I am not PR or MR. However I am going to tg some nations trying to get people to apply to the chair. So the main question really I suppose is... What does the Chairs want for a wage?

Bahh I do this for free, can't let the IPP hold all the power. The main reason I run this party is to give people of the region more options to voice their opinions rather than having to rely on only IPP members which may result in some ideas not being presented because of personal preference (though I would hope this would not happen). |

Looking at the dues I would consider different levels of payment for members, any newbies we would need to keep low or free considering how many posts they have on the forum, when they reach a certain amount they move up. |

Well exactly, but can we do it fairly. Newbies Due: 1/2/3 Months free Member Due: $WP25 Senior Members: $WP50 At the moment we have our competitors at Wp$0, therefore I have decided to keep it simple and set it low for this (MAY) month . In accordance with 2.1 Article 4: I have submitted the due rate to the chair for approval, the chair shall announce the agreed rate and collection |

I like this idea, although I think that we could put this off and try to survive on simple donations in order to remain competitive against the other parties in recruitment. |

O.k, Well you (chair) have now agreed to my proposed due for this month, which is WP$25 for everyone, and my proposed long term dues structure and estimated dues. Kolinar has the key point here, especially whilst our costs remain so low. I hope to make good effective spending which we can use as firm evidence in our recruitment argument, we must be 'better' through dues than our competitors without dues. Neas has signalled that IPP may have a due. |

Can all members be sure to pay the dues each month to this account. The dues thread is a reminder, not a record. |

We now have three new(er) members; when would you like to begin a split due rate? I shall pm them to ensure they know about due. I have reset the due list for june and added new members ready for payments. I suggest $25 again. should yield $200. |
