On December 18th, Hol submitted a proposal to lift the minimum dues
requirement for members to $10 (from $0), with exception granted on a
case-by-case basis for special cases (eg; refusal to participate in
the monetary system).

- -----------------------
Sub-Section 3.4.3 Dues
Dues shall be paid by members on a sliding scale basis, from the
minimum $10 per month rate to the recommended donation calculated
using the process below. Exemptions of individuals from paying dues
may be approved on a case by case basis by the general membership on
the grounds of financial hardship or refusal to participate in the
monetary system
The recommended monthly dues for members is calculated as follows:
dues = average over all members of ( 1 month's overhead + a % of
any defecit in each standing fund + a risk premium (min. 5% of all
other dues components)
For instance, early on, overhead could be (rent + utilities +
services), in which case dues = (500 + 100 + 20 + (10 + 5 + 0 + 10) +
64) / 23 = $30.83 per member
- ---------------------
Feedback encouraged over the next 7 days until this amendment is
brought up for consensus at the next weekly meeting (January 8th).
Feedback from the Dec. 18th Meeting can be found here:

We've discussed setting up some kind of work trade/equity system in lieu of
(or in addition to) paying dues in cash on several occasions both on and
off the record, yet it's never gotten past the "Gee, that's a good idea"
phase.
Personally I could go either way on this. Keeping track of how much time I
allocate towards sudo-related projects versus personal pursuits would
probably set a good example and maybe even get the ball rolling on the
nascent time-accounting system, but that's not really how I do things.
However, one of the perks of the cash-free lifestyle is that I don't have
to assign a value to my time if I don't want to or if there's no real need
for it....which is probably why I haven't documented my sudo projects/time
expenditures- I feel like it's time well spent, people seem to appreciate
at least some of my efforts, and shit gets done that might otherwise get
left by the wayside.
With that said I believe the equity program would be a good thing for sudo
and sudoers alike. Sudo gets its helper monkeys, I don't have to stress
over whether I'm goldbricking and everyone else has a metric to work with
(or not).
