The devil is in the details and the survey doesn't really have the details.

For example, do I want my images sold by partners - well, that depends on the terms, prices, commissions, etc. etc. of those partners. I do think if you do a bunch of partners it would be nice for the contributors to be able to check them off individually. It would also be nice to have data on those specific partners to help us make the choice.

here is another "Do you think that contributors should be rewarded based on the size of their portfolio? *"

once again - that depends. I think in general size of portfolio would be a rather poor way of differentiating. # of sales, $ total of sales, etc. makes more sense. But the real meat is, compared to what? If we get 50% now, and you want to make it 55% with a larger portfolio, more sales, whatever, that is fine. If you want to make it 45% with a smaller portfolio, less sales, etc., that is not fine. Your questions are too vague. Dropping commissions is the worst thing you could do as far as I am concerned. In general the contributors should be rewarded based on their sales, not how many other images they have or how many sales they had last year.
