And I thought $10 for copying a sheet of paper was expensive (AMA's new
record 3-view policy).

On one hand I can understand an organization trying to cover their
costs and bring in some revenue.

On the other hand, there are a bunch of people in our community who
donate a lot of time and effort to make things happen and it's a bit of
a b-slap to get exorbitant charges from the "professionals".

I suggest that we propose, through our SIG NFFS, that we do as much of
that work ourselves as possible to reduce or eliminate the additional
costs. I think that would be diplomatic way of saying "no" to these
new charges.

I'm a big fan of "checks and balances", and it seems that we need a
bunch of pushback here – through our official channel.
