The following message has been seen by all new members when they joined, from the 26th Oct. 2011 onwards.
"The Research Cooperative invites your donation, for a 12-month subscription, to help cover operating and development costs. Please help us if you can. We understand that many members will be unable to (a) help financially, or (b) use international payment services. Free membership can be requested by choosing an amount of $0.00, in the dropdown menu below.
A minimum donation of $2.95 per year is suggested by default, in the dropdown menu, and is a minimum amount based on our current running costs, and a conservative estimate of the likely number of donations.
All donations will be used for operation and development of the network, for the benefit of all members.
