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"?
