Good Day! I disagree on this point as it stands in reality. In theory you are correct under the following constraints: - Every member participates in the GM and actually casts their vote. - Every member treats their membership as a business expense and will try to activly lower their recurring costs by selecting the option with the lowest cost on the vote. (Disregarding any other consolidations). In reality however: - Not every member registers for the GM. - Not every member casts a vote. - Not every member tries to purely optimise for the lowest recurring cost.

There have been calculators during the discussions, in Excel form. Personally, I dislike the calculators. They reinforce the mindset of "I'll vote for what allows me to pay the least". This is a strong point to flag here - with the category pricing as proposed, the majority of members will pay less, therefore if they're not sleeping through this process then they'll all vote for it. The <50% of members who would end up paying more cannot in themselves stop it happening.
