What I meant by that was a person who pays for their membership as opposed to one who is given it might have a bit more interest in the organization. A stake holder so to speak. Just a thought. We have different types of membership now in place with varying levels of benefits. Again just brainstorming what a Corporate membership would be.

Why should it matter if the member is paying the dues out of their own pocket (with or without reimbursement from their employer), or if their employer is paying the dues directly? Yes, companies could try to game the system by paying employee memebership dues and trying to get those employees to all vote one way, but does banning corporate memberships really prevent this? Is it worth the hassles of creating, maintaining, and explaining a second-class membership for the slight speed bump that this would put in the way of any company that was inclined to do this sort of thing?
