In most organizations, there is a cost to the organization for each member.
In part of a straw-man budget I posted here, I suggest that instead of
setting membership fees on ability-to-pay, that those fees be set on
cost-of-having-the-member.  In that case, you have the member that is sent
paper, the member that gets only paper ballots and everything else
electronically, and the member that gets everything electronically (no
paper).

Using my assumptions from the straw-man budget, that would mean that the
all-paper member would pay $250/year, the paper-ballot-only member would
pay around $75/year, and the paperless member around $25/year.

FWIW.
