## Decision description {#decision-description}

### Facts/Problem {#facts-problem}

**Proposed benefit:**

-   We will monitor European public tenders where TYPO3 or similar products are mentioned via an external partner ([AIVI Consulting](https://www.aivi-consulting.de/)).
-   We will receive "raw data", which will be sent as an email newsletter to members.
-   We can set up a TYPO3-branded Google Doc where the data will be entered.
-   AIVI Consulting will be mentioned as consulting partner, e.g. in the footer of the information, so they could benefit from leads of TYPO3 agencies.
-   No costs involved / quid pro quo.
-   We will send the news once a week.
-   We will send the public tender information to Gold & Platinum members.

**Proposed memberships:**

-   Agency: Gold, Platinum

If the TYPO3 GmbH wants, we can also send this information to Solution Partner agencies.

### Objective {#objective}

-   Making our memberships more interesting.
-   Create a new subscription benefit by sending TYPO3-related calls for tender to members free of charge via a newsletter.
-   Agencies no longer need to actively monitor various platforms.
-   Agencies not doing public tenders could start doing them (maybe with assistance of AIVI Consulting first).

### Obligations to cooperate {#obligations-to-cooperate}

-   AIVI Consulting (external partner)
-   Mathias Bolt Lesniak needs to copy & paste the information.
-   We might need to set up a better newsletter member list first, addressing the different membership levels.

### Financial and human resources impacts {#financial-and-human-resources-impacts}

-   No money, as we would do a "quid pro quo" agreement.
-   Mathias Bolt Lesniak already agreed to copy & paste the information to a new newsletter.

### Resolution/Petitum {#resolution-petitum}

To make our memberships more attractive, the decision owner would like to introduce real benefits for different membership levels.

-   Shall we set up a "quid pro quo" partner contract with AIVI Consulting?
-   1 year trial period, ok?
-   At which level to start? Proposal: Gold + Platinum
