Hi all,
At the board meeting, August 31, the following interim IP rate structure (see e-mail thread), with amendments, was approved.
For all in the position to quote our rates, these are the fees now in effect. For all in the position to collect IP fees, these are the rates to apply.
Any questions regarding the fee schedule, can be directed to myself, or any board member. Comments or suggestions are also welcomed.
A final fee schedule will be presented to the membership once the information (costs, revenues, member and user feedback) required to construct a reasonable and rational structure is collected and processed.

I continue to get requests concerning various IP fees. My standard
response is to the Board minutes(1) where the current fee structure was
approved. However, from various meetings with members and on-line
discussions, it appears that the approved schedule is not being enforced.
It appears, that when the question of fees is raised by an IP, the
CCN member waffle.
The question on how to structure the new schedule has been brought up in
various venues(2), and progress towards a new structure is being made.
But we should not expect a final answer until early fall(3).
However, since the questions still come, and no one wants to take
responsibility, or apply the approved schedule, I'm offering the following
as an interim schedule.
Assisted <$50 per year
Basic $50 "
PPP $200 "
In addition, any IP account can obtain the following service:
VDN $200 Additional charges may apply from the
registration organization. (4)
I propose the the above be approved now, on-line, as the next board
meeting is more than two weeks away.
