Hi,

Just a note on terminology (sorry, I have OCD) before it all gets confused.

To clarify, does the suggestion "not-for-profit don't pay" mean "they
pay only admin fee not the market rate"? And "for-profit" pay the
market (well, whatever SCF will decide it to be) rate?

This would solve (?) the issue raised by Raniere.
Cheers,
Aleksandra
