## Decision description {#decision-description}

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

-   One of the strategic goals of the TYPO3 Association is to increase the number of members.
-   With more benefits for members, we make it more interesting to become and stay a member.

**Proposed benefit:**

Agency Gold and Platinum members should be able to pay monthly (keeping their 12-month subscription period). The difference to annual payments will be marked as "handling fees".

| Level | Pay per year | Pay per month |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Platinum | 12,500 EUR + 500 EUR sign-up fee | 1,200 EUR, no sign-up |
| Gold | 2,750 EUR + 500 EUR sign-up fee | 265 EUR, no sign-up |

**Proposed memberships:**

-   Agency: Gold, Platinum

### Objective {#objective}

-   Making our memberships more interesting.
-   Increase in memberships.

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

-   TYPO3 GmbH
-   TYPO3 members

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

Unknown, as it is not yet known how easy it is to implement in Stripe and later Yatta (the TYPO3 GmbH already agreed to take care of the task).

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

-   Shall we offer monthly payments for Agency Gold + Platinum members, but keep the sign-up period at 12 months?
-   Shall we label the additional costs as "handling fee"?
