3. ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN MARCH 1.Budget Update Draft budget has been discussed. One item on the budget: 1.Membership Committee Administrative Support 2. Regional Supporters Discussed creating a Regional supporter model that would be more compatible with non-US and Western European supporters. Ofer Maor has outlined a potential model for this and it is under Membership Committee review. 3. Attracting Industry Supporters There is a desire to attract more “Industry” (ie non-vendor) Organizational Supporters. This will require an overhaul of the benefits offered to Supporters. Some initial discussions have been had about how this might be accomplished. 4. Attracting Non-US and Western Europe Members There is a desire to attract more Members from non-US and non-Wester Europe individuals. This will require reducing the cost of individual Membership for some of these individuals and will likely involve overhauling the benefits provided.
