Yes, please.

Probably a good idea.

A time-based limit has merit, actually. It avoids the "magic
number" issue and will certainly prevent a "smash-and-grab"
scenario.

I'm not in favour of this. What I want to see is that the
membership fee covers all my dealings with the NCC. In small
companies, you often have to get budgetary approval for even
EUR50, and I'm in *no* mood to explain to a bean-counter (or the
boss's wife) what an ASN is and why I need 50 quid to pay for
another one.
