Proposal to modify DL revenue distribution Alan Berenbaum Alain Chesnais
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
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
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
Resolution • Modify the DL revenue distribution mechanism by adding the phrase: • No SIG will receive less than $10,000 in DL revenue
