There have been a number options proposed for redistribution of income within AMICO. This could be based upon: 

1. Shares in the Library
	- strictly numerical

2. Proportion of Licensed Works
	- based on monitoring of licensed products

3. Weighted based opon the depth of information provided
	- based on minimum vs extended documentation standards

4. Weighted based upon the content provided
	- based upon the need to develop the Library in particular areas

5. Weighted based upon date of contribution [the model originally proposed]
	- See chart that shows the affect of the 'compounding' 
	of shares at /AMICOshares.htm

We need more debate on the relative merits of each of these scenarios. What do you think? Are any of these preferable? Are there other options that haven't been raised? What kinds of structures could AMICO Founding Members pursue to address these questions?
