[Sigmet-officers] Webmar debate

[Cassidy Sugimoto]

The current pricing for webinars is as follows:

The initial flat price for having ASIS&T set up the webinar, put it on the
website and run registration will be $50 (paid by the SIG, Chapter, etc.).

If there is a charge associated with the webinar, ASIS&T HQ will collected
$1.75 per person (even if one group of people is free). Any extra revenue
will go directly to the sponsoring unit (SIG, Chapter, etc.).
