Last spring the Board asked the Grand Council to consider the question 
of the nature of the Benefits of Membership in the SCA, Inc.  We sent 
them a rather detailed report (available on the Grand Council web page.)

On of my biggest disappointments at the July Board meeting was the 
nearly complete lack of discussion or consideration of the value of 
membership or cutting of corporate costs.  Instead the discussion 
fixated on how best to get more money by cutting benefits (unbundling 
TI) and charging more.
