Wieger Bontekoe <wieger.bontekoe at productsup.com> 5:58 PM (1 hour ago) to Mark Hello Mark, *"For the first matter, this actual proposal. I tend to agree with model 2, except for the categories. If you are assigning points to various resources to get to a category, you might as well assign prices to that resource, and invoice those tariffs. I would expect the amount of IP’s to be in balance with the size of a member. "* I am very curious what you mean by this, do you mean that a large customer (based on higher numbers) should also pay lower rates?
