1. Current Budget

• 134 Members
• 160 Pledges
• $5/month/pledge
• Income
  • pledges: $800
  • members: $680

• Current Monthly Expenses

  • $969.85

• 'Deficit: $169.85' ($1.06/pledge, $1.26/member)

• 34 additional pledges needed to break even (60 additional members
  • without pledges)

1.1. Questions

What is our accumulated peer1 deficit?

2. Migration Expenses

• Server Hardware: $3500
• New Colocation: ~$600/month * 2
  • Actual cost pending
  • We would be carrying this in addition to peer1 for up to 60 days

2.1. Migration Cost Per Member

• 2 months at both colos
  • Pledges: $29.38
  • Members: $35.07
• 1 month at both colos
  • Pledges: $25.64
  • Members: $30.60

3. Dues Restructuring

3.1. Overview

• Dues pegged to ceiling(recurring expenses / pledges)

• The board would be authorized to add $0-$3 per share for projected
  • non-recurring costs and debts
• Dues would be adjusted quarterly based on new costs and member counts
• Plan would be enacted for November billing cycle

3.2. Short Term Increase

All numbers involving new setup are pending known colocation cost.

Assuming 160 pledges

• Adjusted to November Real Cost = ~$1561.60
  • Pending known value for new colocation
• Per pledge: $9.76 ($10)
• Surplus: ~$38.40 (too insignificant to count)
• No debt repayment / non-recurring costs adjustment

3.2.1. End Peer1 Dec 1

• December real cost:$711.60
• Surplus: ~$888.40
  • Per Pledge: $5.55
  • Per Member: $6.63
• Remaining migration debt Feb 1: $2323.20

3.3. Dues adjusted Feb 1

• Adjusted to February real costs: $711.60
  • Per pledge: $4.45 ($5)
  • Per member: $5.31 ($6)
• Additional debt-repayment surcharge: $2
• Surplus (@ $7/share)
  • With pledges: $408.40
  • Without pledges: $226.40
• Remaining migration debt May 1: $1644.00
  • Not terrible; completely paid off by the end of 2010

4. Numbers Look Better With New Members

Each new member joining before quarterly adjustment is paying 100% toward migration debt / expansion funding.

New members therefore essentially pay for the capacity expansion required to handle them.

5. Long Term Reduction

With 300 members:

• Projected real costs: $711.60
  • Per member: $2.37 (3)
• Expansion fund: $1
• Total cost: $4
• Monthly surplus: $488.40

This is feasible within a year given our new hardware.
