So for my understanding... 60/40 split applies to Membership dues only, correct? If so, then how significant 60/40 is depends entirely on how much of FORC's income is derived from memberships alone. If memberships constitute 50% or less, then the significance of 60/40 truly starts to diminish. Especially if FORC can keep membership dues low, while still encouraging alternative means of fundraising, (donation drives, merch sales, etc?).

I'm still staying open minded to both sides of discussion. But if 60/40 is the biggest hangup so far, it certainly needs fair examination. I've considered IMBA membership in the past, and would be proud to be a member, whether through FORC or otherwise.
