I like that this idea allows many people besides the presenter
to participate in offering a class for the community.
It softens the "pay-to-play" feeling that always comes with
class fee, insulates the presenter from the problem of how
what to do about people who can't or won't pay and insulates
the community from having to manage presenters who are overly
mindful of their pecuniary interest.
I also like that it allows a presenter to discover, in a low
touch and non-confrontational way, that there is little
interest in their material and they would be better off not
presenting.
