7. Proposed Society Two Tiered Membership Model Society BASIC Membership ‘E’ components Society ENHANCED Membership Blend of ‘E’ and ‘P’ components IEEE TRADITIONAL Membership Blend of ‘E’ and ‘P’ components IEEE E-MEMBERSHIP ‘E’ components • Offerings, and prices, for ENHANCED Society memberships can vary by Society. • Each Society shall offer only one ENHANCED model membership. • Print offerings, E-learning products and other bundled-with-memberships offerings fall into the a la carte ENHANCED packages. • One Society BASIC membership (member’s choice) is included with IEEE membership. • All Society BASIC memberships are valued at the same price. • Additional Society BASIC memberships (beyond the initial choice) are available. • All additional Society BASIC memberships are priced the same. E: Electronic P: Print

8. Proposed Model Principles: Society BASIC Membership IEEE membership to contain one Society BASIC membership. The price is “included.” Additional Society BASIC memberships may be added at time of join/renew/add. The price for each Society BASIC membership is consistent (ie, same price for each membership added to IEEE membership, beyond that which is included). Society ENHANCED memberships may contain variable components and are priced a la carte.

9. Proposed Model Principles: Society ENHANCED Membership • Society ENHANCED membership offerings will vary by Society • Components will vary • Prices will vary • Memberships will be offered at join/renew/add • Each Society, however, will only have one ENHANCED membership model.

10. What Happens Next? 12/19/2019

11. What does a Member get? • Societies can self-manage their eMembership package • each Society determines the bundle of services and products to be included in their Basic Membership under the proposed model. • each Society should have the independence to manage how they elect to cover the costs of their membership. • For instance, Basic Membership may include all, some or one product such as: eNewsletter, eMagazine, community access, web education, etc.
