On December 18th, Hol submitted a proposal to lift the minimum dues
requirement for members to $10 (from $0), with exception granted on a
case-by-case basis for special cases (eg; refusal to participate in
the monetary system).

Sub-Section 3.4.3 Dues

Dues shall be paid by members on a sliding scale basis, from the
minimum $10 per month rate to the recommended donation calculated
using the process below. Exemptions of individuals from paying dues
may be approved on a case by case basis by the general membership on
the grounds of financial hardship or refusal to participate in the
monetary system

The recommended monthly dues for members is calculated as follows:

    dues = average over all members of ( 1 month's overhead + a % of
any defecit in each standing fund + a risk premium (min. 5% of all
other dues components)
        For instance, early on, overhead could be (rent + utilities +
services), in which case dues = (500 + 100 + 20 + (10 + 5 + 0 + 10) +
64) / 23 = $30.83 per member
- ---------------------

Feedback encouraged over the next 7 days until this amendment is
brought up for consensus at the next weekly meeting (January 8th).
