- For institutions that have not pledged but are part of top 200, consider getting scientists involved to talk to their libraries. Work with SAB on this initiative.
- Discussion re: very, very heavy users (link to chart) to provide contributions above $3K:
...
- Idea of adding new membership tiers - including scientific societies as contributors (and the idea of publishers/societies) :
- We already started adding scientific organizations as members
It is likely that a tier reset will happen after five years. Planning will need to begin 2015.
- What are we agreeing to when we bring funding agencies, publishers, etc. What would that 'class' look like? What recognition do they receive?
- Re: the 'double-dipping' question, agencies support arXiv submitters (scientists), whereas libraries support = users.
- Would a contribution to arXiv be prohibitive for some US agencies?
- Consider an endowment model from publishers et al. for arXiv to support the formation of a Scientific Director.
- We can accomplish the additional revenue goal without a new category role for the time being so as long we just list them as 'additional support' on the pledge page.

- Give button
- Give buttons have not been successful as a way of generating revenue. (Open Courseware is an example.) If a give button is tied to need (i.e. endowment) and is done at an interval model it might be more successful. We should also consider a give button with matching funds from Cornell or another organization as an incentive. How do we list our donors? Do we put down the amount paid?
