This is a straightforward solution and will maintain the equality of
the group. What is the bottom line, the cost-per-member, for doing it?

I've been uneasy about the push for rapid expansion because such
growth can quickly destabilize an organization, especially a
cooperative one. It also appears to be costing quite a lot.

Isn't this a consumer co-op which exists to provide cost-effective
resources to its members?
