Proposal to modify DL revenue distribution Alan Berenbaum Alain Chesnais

Background There is a minimum return-to-sponsor allocation of $10K Why not a minimum for DL revenue distribution? Allocate DL revenue to all SIGs according to formula For each SIG whose distribution is less than $10K, increase to $10K For each SIG whose distribution is more than $10K, decrease to compensate

DL Revenue Growth Return to SIGS: FY 05:$900K FY 06:$1,200K FY 07:$1,400K (projected) Most SIGS will see more revenue from DL in FY 06 even with proposed modification

Ramifications in FY 06 Total DL revenue distributed is $1.2M 8 SIGs get increased to $10K Total reallocation of $29,348 Amounts range from 206% (SIGADA) to 2.4% (SIGMICRO) Especially helpful to new SIGs (e.g., SIGITE) Other SIGs get reduced by about 2.5% Biggest contributors: SIGPLAN, SIGGRAPH, SIGCHI

Resolution Modify the DL revenue distribution mechanism by adding the phrase: No SIG will receive less than $10,000 in DL revenue
