It's as American as can be.  People who want to pay, and who like the 
proposal(s), can pay the bandwidth.  Those who don't support the prop (yes, 
members of a society can disagree) aren't forced to pay.  If they don't, 
then the society may kick em out or something.  Plus, if everyone supports a 
prop, but only some have spare bandwidth, things aren't stopped by those 
with no bandwidth.

Just to make it extra clear, people do not lose bandwidth just because a 
society they are members of proposes; they have to decide whether or not 
they support what the society is doing, and whether or not they want to 
contribute bandwidth.  The society may have special rules for handling this, 
maybe having internal votes for club props, and whoever proposes it supplies 
the bandwidth, unless someone else volunteers, or whatever.
