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

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
