Decision description 

Facts/Problem 

Proposed benefit:

  • We will monitor European public tenders where TYPO3 or similar products are mentioned via an external partner (AIVI Consulting).
  • 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 

  • 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 

  • 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 

  • 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 

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
