As for "donation/contribution for what has been received", that's fine for some. It should be stated as such me thinks.

I haven't voted yet. Taking in all discussion points first (just like any election) then I'll contemplate and decide based on facts.

I'm leaning no though, here's why.
The single biggest issue I have with it was already raised on the OP.
If there is a surge now of funds the temptation to spend it by the board is huge. (I'm not suggesting party time but....) Then it leaves future boards holding the bag so-to- speak when it some to a renewed source of income to cover for all the members no longer contributing.
(kinda like the way the government raided the social security funds)

I am for no "gold star" or any such thing. Let individuals post that bragging point on their signature. (or not)

If we do have an LM opion.....
I am for two levels of LM as was mentioned. One true LM that is a bit more than $400. I'd place it at a cool $1k.
Then a PM (patron member) or some such moniker for those that put up at least double the LM fee. These are true supporters of the ZR-1 and obviously can afford to do it.
