Don't want to be a pessimist but with the current pricing for  
associate members you won't find very many.

Associate Membership (not a good name by the way) -- has the  
potential to bring hundreds of members and most importantly help fund
important projects of benefit to all.

Think about all those who have in the past said:  "would love to  
contribute but don't have the time / skills" -- they should be  
pointed to
an Associate Membership. If the cost is somewhere between 50 to 100  
USD (a common pricing range for many organizations) -- then the  
potential is several hundreds. Keep it at 295 USD and you can likely  
count them on one hand.
