Firstly, I don't feel comfortable charging people to listen in to sessions that are being freely given by the GCC speakers. The basic idea of the GCC is that we all have needs beyond money, and the GCC would be a way of meeting those needs, for inspiration, encouragement, connection, belongingness, being part of something bigger. It's not a new idea.
Secondly, the GCC takes time and money to set up and run. Not least time and money consuming are the website, blog and hundreds of phonecallas and e-mails, conference lines and a dozen other things. All of which are given freely. And they cost money.
So, what I am considering is
- The sessions will be free to listen to live, i.e. during the conference.
- The raw recordings can be downloaded for a limited time after the conference.
- The edited recordings will be sold, as downloads, after the conference, by the session leaders; and/or by GCC, according to whatever we agree upon.
- It will be possible to support the GCC through donations, electronically via the web
