Decision description
====================

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
---------

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

Obligations to cooperate
------------------------

- TYPO3 GmbH
- TYPO3 members

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
------------------

- 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"?
