The initial idea

Well... With all the talk of G+ shutting down and people wondering where to migrate too it's time for us to consider another option - pay to play. Using the Google Business suite we will resurrect the Closed Beta phase of Google+ and pay the monthly fee to keep this community alive. Think of it like Public Radio or Public Television - your monthly donation can keep this vital service operational.

Next Steps - setting up a Kickstarter to check the level of interest in paying to keep in touch through a google product. Once that's in place, it's time to advertise hard!

This honestly sounds do-able...
