[QUOTE="ElainePDX, post: 170834, member: 61"] I've already called your post a winner. What a fun and generous idea! We are a most resourceful group and I am sure you'll get some thoughtful replies here. But here's another approach: Sometimes brainstorming in a group IRL can be more successful than our online version here. How about you make this a topic for the next DO and use the small group sessions there to toss ideas around? What about looking at a combo of longevity, constancy and usefulness? Is someone contributing in useful ways, over the long haul, and broadly throughout the forum, or is s/he more often seen popping into the latest gig's thread, with posts seeking rather than offering info? I realize that some of us have busier lives than others, as well as more or less obligations; that participation and regular posting is not a requirement for membership and that trolling is not seen here as a negative. But membership is one thing and equity another. The expectations and rewards can be different for those who enjoy membership and those whose membership leads to equity. I would expect that you have a sense already of the contributions many members offer. Perhaps you can look at the stats/metrics/posts for those folks and see if your gut is right. You could also have people self-nominate and/or nominate others, and then review that expanded list on the same criteria. This could become a big task - maybe form a task force to help with the review? I'm neither a numbers person nor a finance one, so I'll leave the question on vesting to others more savvy and knowledgeable than me. I look forward to seeing the other ideas that will follow. Thanks, Matt. It's not just your above post that's a winner - you're a winner too. [/QUOTE]
