We can quibble about whether the proposed fee split for MVI fair or not, but I don’t think this is productive.

We should do the following:

1. Bring MVI in-line with the _current_ fee split for simple index products (DPI, DATA)
2. Eliminate the distinction between _community and external_ methodologists
3. Revise the [misaligned incentives](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/an-analysis-of-methodologist-incentive-dynamics/2675/3) for all existing and future Index Coop methodologists.

We should _assume_ significant changes to methodologist incentives as they are being redesigned as part of the Index 2.0 efforts. That big, thorny problem will not be solved on this particular forum post discussion.
