The $600 is actually the annual amount of a Discourse monthly subscription of $50 per month. INA has paid this monthly over the past 6 months while setting up and testing the Discourse system. At the $600 annual fee, that works out to be approximately $1.00 per member per year. A very reasonable amount, I think you'll agree.
The extra $2400 is a one time charge to transfer the historical data from Google to Discourse. Once done, next year we'll revert back to the $50/mth subscription.

I would vote no as I don’t believe we should change anyway. My understanding during the discourse discussions, it was not mentioned.

Hi All -
Jon Lewit and I have been finalizing the last step towards the Google migration to Discourse.
In order to have all of the old Google Groups conversations copied into Discourse it requires an upgrade in the plan for one year (one $3,000 upfront payment) to have the programmers at Discourse perform that migration. This means that all of the old threads and content would be saved and searchable, just as it is now.
We looked in to a consultant, who would charge about the same, between $1500-$3000. Having Discourse perform the data migration is $2,400 ($3,000-$600 after accounting for the $600/yr subscription we are paying now).
The benefit of having Discourse perform this is that it’s all internal at Discourse. An outside consultant would have to export our current Discourse site, import the old data, then re-upload the Discourse site. I like the idea of one group being responsible for the whole project, and it will be faster having Discourse perform this. The site would need to be “read only” for a day while this is performed.
For the record, what I’m asking is to authorize a one year upgrade of our Discourse account to a Business Plan, which will be an upfront cost of $3,000.
Thanks -
