Massplanners has been hosted and run by CPTC for about 3 years now. CPTC has been paying for the server space ($150/year) and the mailman platform software has been free. Some of the proposed platforms cost substantially more ($1,200/year). CPTC receives all
its funding from its planner workshop and annual conference fees and corporate sponsorships. </div>

It's up to the CPTC Board how they wish to proceed. CPTC mission is aimed at training citizen planners. Massplanners appears to be used mostly by professional planners. Of course, well informed professional planners are important to help citizen planners make
reasonable decisions. In a sense we're asking that the fees paid for citizen planner training be used to maintain a service primarily for professional planners.</div>

CPTC is not a membership organization. We would have to develop a membership system if we were to charge individuals for use of massplanners. Doing so would create more expense and work for an all volunteer organization. It's unlikely the board will choose
this option. </div>

Probably more than you wanted to know. The CPTC board will meet in May and hopefully provide more guidance on the direction we are headed.</div>

<div>I know CT Planners listserve is free to users. I'm guessing we've already looked at how they do it?<br>
