Requirements for Active & Contributing Members

Active MembersHelp

are and have been working in a professional capacity in this industry for a number of years. Active members would usually be working in an organisation related to the industry of retail, shopping, entertainment, distribution, real estate development of such project directly or indirectly. Contributing to m&m counts to wards this definition.

Contributing Members 

Why would you want to be a Contributing Member?

During alpha stage m&m will only be open to invited members - First Members. First Members will receive a share in the value of the company plus retain free membership for as long as they remain active and contributing members.

During beta stage we will invite Early Members and these will also retain free membership for as long as they remain active and contributing members.

In order to build this project efficiently we need to set targets and this includes the requirements for the definition of what a Contributing Member is.

The initial Formula

While we clearly stated in our ToU that details will be finalised during alpha and beta stages we believe we should set a starting formula.

Initially we will measure activity by the number of contributions a member adds to m&m during a specific period:

We hope that contributing members will be able to make:

Contributions * Period Note
at least 100 1 year but not all in one week - so
at least 3 every months but not all in the last month - so
at least 20 per quarter (any 3 months)  
Forum Moderator for min. 6 months at a time other periods as above
Editor for min. 6 months at a time other periods as above
Author monthly 2 articles

 *) At this stage we have to exclude blog entries. Sponsors will not receive points towards any status.

Your Views

Let us know what you think. We hope eventually to have to add a maximum on the contribution a member can add.

Activity Measuring - the future

During ... alpha stage we will experiment with a points system based on the following weighting of contributions. Once we have completed the trial we will discuss the implementation at the end of ... alpha stage:
