Proposal to Modify DL Revenue Distribution for Enhanced SIG Support

This proposal recommends modifying the DL revenue distribution mechanisms to establish a guaranteed minimum allocation of $10K to each SIG (Special Interest Group) receiving funds from distributed DL revenues. The current allocation method leaves some SIGs receiving less than this amount, which could hinder their growth and activities. By implementing new guidelines, the proposal aims to ensure equitable support across all SIGs, with increased allocation for underfunded SIGs while adjusting distributions for others to maintain overall financial balance. This change is anticipated to provide substantial support, especially for newer SIGs.

  1. Proposal to modify DL revenue distribution Alan Berenbaum Alain Chesnais

  2. Background • There is a minimum return-to-sponsor allocation of $10K • Why not a minimum for DL revenue distribution? • Allocate DL revenue to all SIGs according to formula • For each SIG whose distribution is less than $10K, increase to $10K • For each SIG whose distribution is more than $10K, decrease to compensate

  3. DL Revenue Growth • Return to SIGS: • FY ’05: $900K • FY ’06: $1,200K • FY ’07: $1,400K (projected) • Most SIGS will see more revenue from DL in FY ’06 even with proposed modification

  4. Ramifications in FY ’06 • Total DL revenue distributed is $1.2M • 8 SIGs get increased to $10K • Total reallocation of $29,348 • Amounts range from 206% (SIGADA) to 2.4% (SIGMICRO) • Especially helpful to new SIGs (e.g., SIGITE) • Other SIGs get reduced by about 2.5% • Biggest contributors: SIGPLAN, SIGGRAPH, SIGCHI

  5. Resolution • Modify the DL revenue distribution mechanism by adding the phrase: • No SIG will receive less than $10,000 in DL revenue
