My impression from Karen's e-mail was that she felt for previous to
discussing the FSA a donation was reasonable, but for the future they'd
prefer the 10%. I think that it is basically a requirement for
organizations joining the Conservatory today, and that they're trying to
work with existing projects to move all of them over to the same system.
It keeps their accounting simple and consistent and I don't think it's
an unreasonable amount for them to charge. I do agree with the idea of
it being retroactive is a bad thing, but I don't have any issue about it
going into the future.
