  Great to hear from you, hope all is well!

  The TYFCB slips online was modeled directly inline with the official paper slips program in BNI. In the paper version, the TYFCB is an anonymous entry (for many reasons, some of them for client confidentiality).

  From the BNI Slips document (http://support.bniconnect.com/entries/40561363-BNI-Slips-Program-Overview):
  Note: By assigning this amount to the person who gave the referral resulting in the business, this 
  will preserve confidentiality of each individual’s income. In addition, this will show each member’s value as a “referral giver” to the other members of the chapter.

  Although a notification and\or seeing both sides of the transaction may be desired by some, it could be "illegal" for others. Most notably this could cause doctors, lawyers and other professionals to not be able to participate in the TYFCB process.

  In the meantime, the best way to make another member aware is by letting them know and, if there is mutual agreement, announcing it during the "I have" portion of the meeting.

  Hope this helps!

  We don't need to know the value, but whether they have actually done the task or not.  Some members hate doing any sort of admin and will simply stand up and say they have done it and we can see that our TYFTB doesn't move so we know they haven't.  We also are often informed by the person we referred who tells us they have done the business and paid them.  They'll even tell us the amount sometimes.

  All the system needs to do is tell us that it's either been done or not been done, not the amount.  That way we can track things like referrals to converted business.  Doesn't matter the amount.  If I only get 1 TYFTB per month I can know the amount too, so you haven't particularly solved the problem you're trying to resolve anyway.
