Configuration of Consortium

Hello all from the Bluegrass State!  Hope everyone is safe and healthy.

As a pretty new member of this group, just wanted to say Hi and apologize ahead of time if the questions that I am about to ask have been answered already.

Some background into our consortium: Was formed in 2005 I believe, and has loosely been ran organized since conception. Due to this loosely engagement style, over the past few years, as can imagine, there have been a few speed bumps.

We starting working on coming up with a more formal setup prior to the COVID impact to the US, at the executive level of participate organizations.

Some key things that I feel that we are missing:

- Data entry standards. - Again, have some guidelines, but not really do not have any enforcement or documented..

- Better breakdown of Tessitura costs, (Dues, RAMP, N-scan) just to name a few. 

Another major thing that I felt we were missing, and again, really came to ahead due to COVID, is shared costs for the DBA. KPA as the primary license holder had 100% of cost for DBA. So, when staffing reductions happened, and the decision was eliminate that position for the time being, it created some ripple effects in the consortium, as now there was no one really to fil that role. I am trying me best, but I did not live in Tessitura daily like our DBA did.

I guess I am looking for advise on how to better explain the costs, and come up with a model to share them across the consortium, in a fair manor.  

I would love any guidance in data entry standards/rules and overall consortium guidance/charters as well.
