I'm just saying Fred... if you don't have the part about tracking affiliates in there for auto-renewals, then it's essentially the same program as before, which was abandoned due to disuse. In some cases, for this very reason.

Fred has the right idea. If you send in the money, you get the commission. I have been thinking about being an affiliate myself. I often take cash or cheques from friends at the clubs and sent it in myself as a favour. So why not get a commission. However at 10%, blah, hardly worth it, but 15%, well maybe!
I would be willing to put forward a motion:
CFC Club Affiliate: For $60 / year, a club (or other organization) can be affiliated with the CFC and receive a rebate of 15% on all full CFC membership fees and 5% on tournament membership fees collected and submitted within 7 days.
....
I'm willing to have this reworded. I'm also willing to negotiate on whether $60 is the right price or not (it would probably have to include HST/GST - or that could be an add-on).
Bob G. Want to second this ?
I don't see why we should encourage tournament memberships, personally.

As Aris points out, organizers/arbiters may wish to affiliate themselves. I'd stick with "CFC Affiliate," as opposed to "CFC Club Affiliate." Commission in the 10-20% range sounds right, but, as a former user of the program, I'd love to hear Mark's thoughts. Maybe even 15% is too modest. I think I'd also tend to agree with Chris regarding the inclusion of tournament membership fees.
Are we convinced re-implementing this program will generate more revenue?
