I suppose you would want to raise the dues of all categories if that was the case. Then give a discount on combined memberships.  I do not believe that would be prudent.<<<


I am not talking about "one more non fiscally responsible membership" and I resent that implication.

The actual cost to AIS (at least that I have seen) for handling e-memberships is small. Very low e-dues would make money.

It seemed to me that there was overlap in what the two kinds of memberships would provide, and a reduction in dues for carrying both would be appropriate. I will welcome being shown otherwise, but that has not happened yet.
