Mike suggested a simpler variation on the idea proposed by the team in [http://wiki.eclipse.org/LTS/March27_2012 Tuesday's meeting]. This is to have a single IWG agreement with an appendix listing the choice of IWG's and their fees. This would allow 1 agreement to cover multiple IWG's thus avoiding the need to pay twice.

+
In the future, IWG's with LTS built in could adjust fees to break out the LTS portion. e.g. Polarsys, though not urgent to do so immediately.
