Subject: A question for MCGers - membership category names



Hello MCGers!



The MCG committee (http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/about/mcg-committee/)

have been working on the membership category changes approved at the last

AGM, and we want to make sure the membership category names work for our

current and potential members.



We've got a somewhat unusual membership structure that takes into account

both the importance of this list creating a community of members, and the

legal requirements for our charity/non-profit status, and it makes naming

the categories a little tricky - in particular, we'd really like your help

with naming 'Category 2'.



Our tireless secretary John Williams has put together the following

information about the membership categories (below).  You can reply on-list

or directly to John ([log in to unmask]) or me.



'MCG members may connect with the group in a number of ways depending on how

close you want your relationship with the group to be - you may only want to

participate in the discussions on the MCG Mailing List, you might only want

to attend the occasional meeting, or you might decide you want to be

involved in the running of the group. There are options for everyone. In

general the more you participate the greater the discount we offer you for

meetings fees and the UKMW annual conference.



There are four classes of membership and we want your help to decide what to

call the different types of membership. This is more difficult than it first

appears. Your committee has discussed this on a number of occasions and have

yet to come to a firm decision.



CATEGORY 1 (currently called 'online membership')

The first category consists of everyone who is a current member of the MCG

Mailing list. Members at this level can join in the wide ranging

conversations and well as seek help and support on this friendly, well

regarded and high quality list. These members are encourage to participate

in all aspects of our development and policy work.



Membership is currently FREE and meetings fees attract a small discount.



CATEGORY 2 (currently nameless - help!)

The second category is ideally suited to people who want to get more

involved in MCG activities. This is a single individual membership and may

not be transferred to anyone else. In addition to all the benefits of the

first group members in this category form the governing body of the group.

They have a vote at the Annual General Meeting, elect the committee and

become a committee member. To recognise this greater commitment to the group

 we offer substantial discounts at MCG Meetings and UKMW.



Membership is FREE and meetings fees are substantially discounted.



This is the category for which we're having trouble finding a name.  Some

suggestions have been 'associate members' or 'registered members'.  If

you're a member of similar groups, how have they described these members?

 Or if you were listing membership of the MCG on your CV, how would you

describe it?



CATEGORY 3 (currently called 'corporate membership')

Our third class of membership is open to organisations that support the work

of MCG and is ideal for those organisations who want flexibility in who they

send to MCG meetings. This membership allows organisation to send up to five

members of staff to MCG meetings.  Members at this level have all the

benefits of those above and additionally may transfer entitlement to

benefits to anyone in the organisation providing the total number of

delegates does not exceed FIVE.



Membership currently costs £100 per annum. To recognise this support

meetings fees for standard MCG meetings are included in the subscription and

there are substantial discounts on UKMW for up to five staff from the

organisation.



CATEGORY 4

Our final category is life membership awarded by the group to those people

who are considered to have made a important contribution to the work of the

sector. This category carries the same benefits as the second category.



So what do you think? What should we call the different categories and, if

you have time, why?'



cheers, Mia
