Obviously the cost per member will be the cost to publish less the income/revenue brought in divided by the total membership. Projections of each of these are in the materials from the convention.
The way USMS is structured, an over budget expenditures in one area does not have a direct impact on other budgeted costs. So no essential budgeted services would be cut to fund cost increases. The converse of this is also true; increases in revenues (ad sales, membership dues, etc.) do not automatically increase any budgeted expenditures.
As for the terms, as I understand it, there is no contract. However, the proposal from Douglas Murphy stated a proposed 3-year arrangement.
