My thought is to put anything that everyone pays for in a "members only"
group. Things like local conference proceedings, meeting minutes (if you
take them), statistical reports such as local salary surveys, etc.
Of note, I do not recommend you do this, but that is my thought should you
feel compelled to discriminate content.
